3. Tipping Point Australia
The Aussie spin on the UK hit is proving a force in the 5pm slot, airing four nights a week and giving The Chase stiff competition.
Airing every weekday, it ranked #6 (Monday), #6 (Tuesday), #5 (Wednesday), #5 (Thursday), and #4 (Friday) respectively. It averaged a total TV national reach of 1,469,400, a total TV national audience of 808,600 and a BVOD audience of 67,000.
4. The Chase Australia
