Big Bang is best of non-news shows in Wednesday ratings

The Big Bang Theory triple play helped give Nine a strong result in the top ten shows on Wednesday night.

The three episodes of the American sitcom placed sixth, ninth and tenth for the network across the five city metro markets, according to preliminary results from Oztam.

The first episode, which placed sixth, was also the number one non-news or current affairs show for the evening.

Nine didn’t manage to take the night’s top spots however. Seven News won the night with 1.14m followed by Today Tonight on 1.07m.
