There was a rather rare exercise in programming on Tuesday.
Tipping Point‘s 5pm episode outranked its primetime special last night, but was that due to lack of awareness, or because of the competition? Or was twice in one day just too much of watching those discs tumble? That’s my best guess…..
Tipping Point at 5pm was even the top entertainment drawcard at 862,000 in National TV Audience.
Not so the Olympic special at 673,000 by comparison.
Home & Away was second highest at 838,000.
Dream Home won its timeslot last night at 682,000, pipping Tipping Point and MasterChef Australia (672,000) then 7:30 (623,000).
Later The Cheap Seats won with 499,000 and helped 10 into third place for the night. Megafauna: What Killed Australia’s Giants? was 415,000 from 8pm with The Good Doctor at 367,000 as late as 9:10pm and Insight at 208,000.
Seven News was #1 at 1.34m for Seven then The Chase (698,000). Ambulance: Code Red managed 176,000.
Nine News hotly shadowed its rival at 1.3m then A Current Affair 1.17m. Wimbledon pulled 320,000 / 200,000.
The Project scored 361,000 for 10 then 10 News First (356,000) and Deal or No Deal (331,000).
ABC News averaged 838,000. Hard Quiz (405,000), Antiques Roadshow (212,000), Secret Science (212,000) and The Art Of (122,000) followed.
On SBS it was Tour de France (261,000), Great British Railway Journeys (199,000), SBS World News (199,000 / 150,000) and Mastermind (115,000).
