A slow night in the TV ratings saw audiences down across the board on Thursday.

Current affairs shows were the best of a bad bunch with Seven’s Today Tonight and Seven News leading the way, both delivering 1.3m, according to preliminary overnight metro ratings from OzTam.

Nine’s Getaway recovered on previous weeks to 1.1m while Ten’s Rush struggled with 836,000.

For Seven, The Matty Johns Show was ninth in Sydney and 16th in Brisbane.

Yeah real opportunity for a network to “own” Thursday nights because it is just Crapday TV that night.
