7.30 and Anh’s Brush With Fame were the most-watched shows in the 7:30pm to 8.30pm primetime slot last night, allowing ABC to slip ahead of Ten in the primary channel audience shares, but Bachelor in Paradise helped the channel hold strong in the key advertising demographics of those aged 16-39, 18-49 and 25-54.

The overall win, however, went to Seven, bolstered by Seven News which was again the most-watched show for the evening with 975,000 metro viewers tuning in for the first half. The second half, which airs as Today Tonight in some states, landed in the second spot with 962,000.

Nine News held the third spot with 875,000 metro viewers. Nine’s most-watched non-news show was a repeat of Paramedics which aired at 7:30pm and brought in 509,000 viewers. It was the third-most-watched show in the timeslot, behind ABC and Ten.
