Slow Thursday for all networks

Thursday night’s TV ratings gave every network something to be glum about.  

Seven’s Drug Bust premiered with just 607,000, although it didn’t air in Adelaide. Even adding in 120,000 Adelaide viewers for The Force, it was not enough to get close to The Block on Nine (1.307m) or even The Renovators on Ten (774,000).

Meanwhile Nine will have been disappointed to see Hamish & Andy’s Gap Year fall below 1m to 993,000 according to preliminary overnight metro ratings from OzTam.

And it was a slow night for Ten across the board. 6.30PM With George Negus rated 364,000, The 7PM Project pulled in 631,000 and Ten’s Modern Family repeat rated just 594,000.
