Farmer Wants a Wife on Seven with 1.07 million nationally and a solid 389,000 in the regions helped Seven win the bush, with assistance from the news and Home and Away. Nine won the metros thanks to the cast-offs from Ninja Warrior (926,000) and the 429,000 who watched Australia sneak a win over France in the rugby. The Tour de France on SBS from 8.30pm to about 2am averaged 279,000. The Front Bar on Seven got 421,000, including 219,000 in Melbourne.
Ash Barty at Wimbledon tonight — watch or go to bed and hope? And the same question: what to do about an AFL game on Seven, an NRL game on Nine, the Tour se France on SBS and the tennis on Nine? Watch with crossed fingers.

Amazingly, Mad as Hell was an absolute cracker last night but failed to make the top 10 – is it being killed by that deadly Win the Week (or weak)?
Can we stop pretending pay tv is top 50, let alone top 5, as it would be if you included it with FTA figures
Odd that on Sky, Alan Jones and Paul Murray in particular spend an awful lot of time bagging Joe Biden, to the extent of recording all his miss-steps and and verbal lapses. Are they trying to imply that he is incompetent and has dementia.
Why are they doing this on Australian TV every night – what are they up to ?
So much easier to spend all day picking up Fox News, OAN etc stuff attacking Biden (which is what you’d expect for a US audience) than do some actual home-grown journalism relevant to Australia. Cheapskate operation.
TV ratings… what an outdated concept, would actually be interesting to see the stats on the leakage of viewers to alternative media outside FTA and then even better would be by demographic.
