While the detractors may cry that Big Brother (5th – 833,000) has shed half it’s audience across the week – which is true – it still rated as the highest non-News program for the night and only lost the 7pm timeslot to ABC News (3rd – 905,000). MasterChef Australia All Stars (10th – 666,000) doesn’t fare so well against Nine’s Live Friday Night Footbal (7th – 801,000), and sadly The Living Room (17th – 486,000) is still a bit up and down.

Timeslot winners (nationally):
6:00pm: Seven News – Ch7
6:30pm: Today Tonight – Ch7
7:00pm: ABC News – ABC1
7:30pm: Nine’s Live Friday Night Football – Ch9
8:30pm: Nine’s Live Friday Night Football – Ch9
9:30pm: Nine’s Live Friday Night Football – Ch9

Channel 7 won the night (21.7%), followed by Channel 9 (20.8%), ABC1 (11.4%) & Channel 10 (10.8%).
