Dancing down but Seven still wins the night
Renovation may have pipped dancing for the top spot of the night, but that didn’t stop Seven from winning the night.
The Block (1.18m) defeated
Dancing with the Stars‘ return (1.04m), but the latter’s average was across a 2.5+hr broadcast. This time it wasn’t just multichannels that got Seven over the line -it won on the primary channel share too.
Seven network share was 33.5% then Nine 28.9%, TEN 18.1%, ABC 15.4% and SBS 4.2%.
Seven News (1.12m / 1.07m) was best for Seven. Season 14 of
Dancing with the Stars, now produced by FremantleMedia, had the odd Live technical hiccup and its return is the lowest season premiere yet at 1.04m. The show is still performing best with older viewers despite casting moves to engage a younger crowd and giving Ricki-Lee the bigger promo push.
Home and Away was 962,000 and
Million Dollar Minute was 544,000.
The Block (1.184m) continues its winning streak for Nine. Next were
Nine News (1.08m / 1.05m) and
A Current Affair (941,000).
Big Brother‘s eviction of Katie was 617,000 a loss of 100,000 on last Tuesday, but it still managed second place in younger demos (interestingly, the schoolyard-pick eviction has been abandoned after negative feedback last week).
Hot Seat was 595,000 and
Arrow was 223,000 / 156,000.
The Project was 628,000 / 418,000 for TEN. Next were the return of
NCIS (611,0000,
TEN Eyewitness News (607,000) and
Jamie’s Comfort Food (418,000). An
NCIS: LA rpt was 394,000.
ABC News (807,000) topped ABC then
7:30 (677,000),
Foreign Correspondent (623,000),
Four Corners (512,000),
QI (409,000) and
At the Movies (326,000).
The Sixties led SBS ONE on 209,000 then
Insight (167,000),
SBS World News (130,000) and
Dateline (117,000).
That
Peppa Pig again ruled multichannels on 293,000. Don’t mess with the pig.
