Thursday – not as dull as you remember it, but almost. Ch7 again won the News mantle and was the highest rating program for the night (1,117,000). Ch10 are having great success with Recruits: Paramedics (4th; 803,000) & Keeping Up With The Joneses (8th; 725,000), winning the 7:30pm timeslot – an uncommon occurrence against The Amazing Race (13th; 581,000). All three shows are new content, compared with repeatville just about everywhere else. It’s just one big malaise…

6:00pm: Seven News – Ch7
6:30pm: Today Tonight – Ch7
7:00pm: Highway Patrol Summer – Ch7
