What a difference a good promo makes. The Hotplate (6th – 944,000) slides in ahead of the launch of The Great Australian Spelling Bee (7th – 921,000) (Bee won in Melbourne). Two hours of Restaurant Revolution (20th – 522,000) didn’t help it’s cause. The Project 7pm (13th – 744,000) spiking up a bit showing it’s making in-roads, while the ABC Monday of Australian Story (11th – 776,000), Four Corners (14th – 698,000), Media Watch (10th – 779,000) & Q&A (15th – 676,000) remains super consistent.
