The 6pm News battle continues, particularly as the week tapers too early and makes Thursday night almost a “find something else to do” night. Nine News (1st – 1,2020,000) gets the jump on Seven News (2nd – 1,189,000) but Today Tonight (3rd – 1,137,000) has the number of A Current Affair (5th – 977,000). American Idol (16th – 580,000) gets a look in but eclipsed by The Big Bang Theory (7pm: 13th – 609,000; 7:30pm: 9th – 789,000; 8pm: 790,000).
