Nine won the most-watched metro program of the night. The Block just edged out Ladies’ Night, pulling 1.032m metro viewers.
With the addition of regional figures, however, The All New Monty was very much on top, with 1.604m combined viewers, ahead of Seven News (1.450m), The Block (1.378m), and Nine News (1.175m).
Nine News delivered 878,000 in the cities and 60 Minutes had 573,000. The Block also took the top spot in all three of the key advertising demographics – 16-39, 18-49 and 25-54 – followed by the Ladies’ Night performance. Nine was easily the most-watched channel with metro audiences 25-54 (27.4% share) and 16-39 (29.1%).
Seven also debuted its new scripted drama Secret Bridesmaids’ Business, starring Abbie Cornish, to 426,000 metro viewers. The six-part mini-series has been produced by Seven Studios for the network. The show used a unique advertising structure of four one-minute ad breaks, in a bid to help viewers engage with the story.
Ten aired the Rugby World Cup match between Wales and Australia from around 4:45pm. The nail-biting match ended in a win for Wales, 29-25, and saw 376,000 metro viewers tune in, according to OzTAM figures.

On Fox Sports, the game was watched by 303,000 subscribers.
