MAFS on top, a Home & Away double
Twice is nice for Summer Bay but not enough to halt Nine reality or ACA.

Seven last night screened a double episode of Home & Away which Seven advises was because an episode was pre-empted due to the Big Bash final.
They drew 780,000 / 677,000 respectively, both trailing Nine in their slots. Tonight it will also run at 7:30 in Perth due to a special celebrating news presenters Rick Ardon & Susannah Carr.
Married at First Sight was again #1 at 1.79m in National TV Audience.
It easily doubled 7:30 (787,000), The 1% Club UK (618,000 from 8pm), Australian Survivor (525,000), Foreign Correspondent (427,000)
Later Madam was 490,000 then The Hunting Party (249,000), The Role of a Lifetime (237,000), and NCIS (228,000).

ABC News averaged 905,000. Hard Quiz (367,000), QI (151,000)and Queerstralia (134,000) followed.

Like series 3 of The Newsreader so far, Role of a Lifetime figures look disappointing for such a well-intentioned and, for the most part, well-executed show.
It would be interesting to know the extent to which the numbers are impacted by iview.
Do any of the channels release viewing numbers for their on-demand platforms?
In the case of iview, it would be interesting to see a breakdown of how many people watch programs in advance of the broadcast date and how many catch up later.
A while ago on Gruen, Todd Sampson suggested that the ABC should make iview its primary tv platform.
Whether by design or default, could this already be happening?
Interesting comment by Todd. iView is one of the few streaming services that are free and without out commercials (well apart from a promo at the beginning). But when you put it in these terms – yes why would you go to the broadcast channel?
Maybe it is just old habits for me, but I still tend to record my shows on the PVR and watch them at my leisure. It works well for commercial TV channels, but there is no compelling reason to do so for ABC shows.
However I am finding less and less to like on ABC. I am taping the Newsreader, but the promos I have seen don’t inspire me. And the recent new shows look like they have flicked the switch ABC Comedy. I realise they are in a dire situation and they have to get new younger eyeballs, but I think they are fighting a losing battle.
10’s Late News 124,000 beaten by SBS World News 138,000. Should it be renamed “10 Late News Last”?
I thought those two figures for SBS World News were for separately coded 6.30pm and 7pm half hours of their main hour-long evening bulletin, but don’t quote me on that. Either way, the ratings for 10 Late News don’t look all that healthy when you consider that Seven recently exited the crowded Late News market with “The Latest” being quietly axed over Summer.
As for Ten’s earlier primetime programming, maybe it’s time for them to actually become a true disrupter (as I’ve suggested before, and no doubt will again in the future…) by running the flagship tentpoles at 6pm against Seven/Nine News, your lighter HYBPA/Cheap Seats/Gogglebox-type shows at 7.30pm followed by a mid-evening news bulletin to catch the commuter market which arrives home too late for the standard dinnertime bulletins yet is not willing to hang around until 10.30pm or later.
I thought people knew it’s a bit daft to compare shows from different slots…..10 News Late is not “last.”
Something surely has to give with The Project at some point. Those numbers are woeful, and have been for a long time
