Changing Rooms improved, sort of — 412,000 last night compared to 304,000 on Wednesday — for Ten, but Goggle Box Australia lost over 200,000 viewers. Nine’s Today went backwards yet again. Nine’s 6pm news fell short of Seven by well over a quarter of a million people. That margin helped Seven win the night, despite an underwhelming BBL first Semi-Final.

Ten’s The Project saw another weak night, especially in the metros where 10 News had 334,000 viewers — itself very low — to The Project’s with 323,000. That’s three nights in a row this week that The Project’s metro audience has been lower than the 5pm news.

In the regions Seven’s 6pm News won with 464,000 then Seven News/Today Tonight with 428,000, The Chase Australia from 5.30pm had 317,000, the 7pm ABC News had 294,000 and ACA had 284,000.
