The Project screened a world first interview with Olympian Rachael ‘Raygun’ Gunn last night attracting considerable press coverage -including overseas.
It drew 343,000 viewers in National TV Audience, which is probably down on what 10 was hoping for. That number is only on par with last Wednesday’s 339,000 but no chance to spruik as a season high.
The Block topped entertainment again at 970,000, upstaging The 1% Club UK (785,000), 7:30 (720,000), Thank God You’re Here (585,000), Shaun Micallef’s Eve of Destruction (435,000).
Later The Front Bar drew 543,000 then Gogglebox (540,000), Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont Spelling Bee (419,000),
Nine’s Paralympics scored 589,000 / 384,000 / 229,000 in the evening and helped Nine to win Wednesday.
