OK, so My Kitchen Rules (1st – 1,849,000) won again, but importantly (for Channel 7) Packed To The Rafters (2nd – 1,710,000) is returning to the ratings highs it enjoyed for the first time this season. NCIS (8:30pm 7th – 1,004,000; 9:30pm 13th – 734,000) continues to do well for Channel 10, even with a 9:30pm repeat. Channel 9, on the other hand, can’t seem to get a foothold into Tuesday nights – 2 Broke Girls (8pm 16th – 651,000; 8:30pm 17th – 649,000), Two and a Half Men (21st – 548,000) and Top Gear (24th – 441,000) all struggling in their respective timeslots. It’s an awkward science, programming…

6:00pm: Seven News – Ch7
6:30pm: Today Tonight – Ch7
7:00pm: Home and Away – Ch7
