Home and Away still holds hearts, minds and eyeballs for Seven

It was Seven’s night in total people and the main channels and did well in the demos. But Big Brother — 848,000 — fell 20% and more from its lead-in, Home and Away with 1.06 million — and again the most watched non-news program on the night. That must be frustrating for Seven when the core demographic won’t stay around for BB after Home and Away.

Australian Ninja Warrior continues to sink for Nine: 824,000 was OK but not brilliant. Finding the Archibald on ABC managed 541,000; Nine’s The Weakest Link, 494,000.

Breakfast: Sunrise, 474,000 nationally and 282,000 metro; Today, 322,000 and 210,000; News Breakfast, 274,000 and 177,000.

Regional top five: Seven News, 646,000; Seven News 6.30, 602,000; Home and Away, 415,000; The Chase Australia 5.30pm, 354,000; 7pm ABC News, 330,000.
