Seven’s night on Wednesday. Ten’s Masterchef Australia was again the standout with 1.32 million viewers, making it the most watched non-news program on the night. 

Julia Zemiro’s Home Delivery replaced Hard Quiz on the ABC at 8pm, and notched up a solid 919,000. Apart from Masterchef, nothing else mattered. 

The Weekly With Charlie Pickering — 785,000 nationally. Again a good intro, weak remainder except for Kitty Flanagan. A Current Affair 1.04 million — 200,000 behind the 7pm ABC News with 1.25 million. A noticeable gap.

In breakfast, Sunrise won with 504,000 national and 301,000 in the metros, from ABC News Breakfast with 337,000/214,000 and Today with 306,000/205,000. The rot continues.
