Seven won a very narrow night in the metros, and it had a much bigger win in the regionals (which was expected). Ten’s The Bachelor did well in the metros with 922,000 viewers, but badly in the regions with 274,000 viewers, but it still grab a lion’s share of the younger viewers.

Nothing else mattered. It was one of those blahhh nights that didn’t really disturb anyone. News and current affairs programs were the most watched programs in the metros and nationally. Seven’s Home and Away was the most watched in the regionals with 522,000 viewers.

Seven’s Sunrise lost again to Today in breakfast in the metros, 318, to 312,000, but Sunrise again won nationally (which some TV writers seem incapable of acknowledging or understanding).
