Remember that The Amazing Race figures are just for Vic, SA and WA. NSW and Qld are showing Amazing Race now (good move Channel 7) so I would expect the number to double once you take the NRL states figures in.
Is it possible to see regional ratings for the affiliates in Newcastle and other non-capital cities, for NBN, WIN, Prime7, GWN, SCTV etc?
ryan- it’s not the 7PM Project it is just simply called ” The Project” which starts at 6PM
Interesting when series is close it rates well, when its not, it suffers
Wow, massive ratings for SOO, it really does own the evening when it is broadcast.
I have been watching the two series on SBS….great shows….preceeded by Remarkable Vets on GEM….days if the life of a New Zealand vet practice.
@Sarah H
It wasn’t on in NSW, QLD or ACT
State of Origin rates very high. I will say Ch7 will be chasing down the rights for that.
7pm project isn’t doing very well.
Isn’t Myf Warhurst a breath of fresh air in the land of the Kardashian’s and the Bingle’s. Network executives should take note that Myf’s wonderful presence and her enthusiasm and interviewing skills can soften the hardest soles and even bring a tear to the eye.

ABC news did well with 9 million viewers 😉
Wow, Amazing Race didn’t do too well!!
It’s clear ELEVEN is TEN’s only bright spot of late..
It was the top multi channel of the night and has the most watched show of the digital channels.
