News coverage pushed ABC ahead of Seven on what will have been the final nail in the coffin for My Kitchen Rules.
Seven News was #1 with 1.28m / 1.23m just eclipsing Nine News at 1.2m / 1.14m.
A Nine News special at 9pm, which included the PM’s latest press conference, drew 1.07m. and topped the demos.
Earlier Married at First Sight led with 1.08m for Nine then 7:30 (873,000), Australian Survivor (779,000 another season high), Foreign Correspondent (688,000) and the grand final of My Kitchen Rules at 553,000 from 8pm in preliminary figures (also interrupted by press conference).
The Drum on ABC News rose to the top of multichannels when ABC viewers went looking for the press conference. That outranked its 6pm screening of 271,000.
Nine network won Tuesday with 30.8% then ABC 22.8%, Seven 22.2%, 10 17.6%, and SBS 6.6%.
A Current Affair was high at 866,000 for Nine then Hot Seat 577,000 / 367,000.
ABC News won its slot at a huge 997,000 for ABC. Revelation was 545,000.
The Chase drew 636,000 / 407,000 for Seven then The Latest (630,000)
The Project did well at 614,000 / 426,000 for 10. 10 News First (525,000 / 337,000), and NCIS (496,000) followed.
On SBS it was Great Alaskan Railroad Journeys (249,000) SBS World News (189,000), Insight (131,000) Dateline (119,000), ABC America: World News Tonight (105,000), and Mastermind (96,000). The Feed was 81,000.

Was it just me or did everyone else get the project run into their Survivor recording, i recorded it last night and the Dam Project ran 35mins into my Survivor ep!
I record every episode and I haven’t seen an overrun of The Project on any episode.
Loving Survivor, a great bit of escapism in dark times. Looking forward to Bach in Paradise. I have gotta take aim at prime time advert…the one that starts with Dads Faves, its about how lovely a certain bank is when someone dies……seriously….talk about scare mongering. Oh and the ad industry needs to ensure they portray physical/social distancing, going forward
The Project has been like a breath of fresh air. Lovely to have a bit of a laugh. Carrie Bickmore is lovely
IMO they are excelling during this crisis. Their nightly episodes have been really well done.
Thanks guys for info on ABC programming. Ratings are always as per OzTAM preliminary info to me.
ABC programming was well astray in SA. Neither Foreign Correspondent, nor Revelation here. The ABC24 coverage was on ABC from at least 8:00pm, through to 9:30pm local time.
Sarah Ferguson tweeted about the ‘postponement’ of Revelation to next week:

Watched a bit of Revelation last week, I don’t know how Ms Ferguson was able to do all that work, I found the bit I watched was distressing, she must be very strong.
I asked her this in the feature story I ran recently.
Here in Qld, ABC didn’t show 7.30, Foreign Correspondent or Revelation, instead they showed the News 24 on ABC1 and then went to Fake or Fortune. So annoying.
to be fair, 7.30 is an hour old by the time it airs in QLD (for another few weeks at least). Cutting to cover the breaking news was the right call I’d say.
Revelation did not screen (at least in AEDT areas). It was a simulcast of ABC News, which is understandable given the PM’s conference.
