Thursday night means News is the big battle – it takes out the Top 3 spots with Nine News (1st – 1,171,000), Seven News (2nd – 1,152,000) and ABC News (3rd – 1,008,000). Given the reduced viewership on Thursdays Big Brother (7th – 825,000) gets some time in the ratings sun. Good to see Vikings get a decent start for SBS one (465,000) – it’s biggest audience this week.
