Another Monday night standout performance by Ten, with MasterChef Australia (772,000 nationally) and Have You Been Paying Attention? (840,000) winning from 7.30-9.30pm and easily dusting the opposition, both in total people and the demos.
Seven’s Big Brother could only manage 545,000 — and yes, its audience will jump by around 50% to more than 700,000, perhaps 800,000, on the seven-day viewing/streaming figures, but it will still be behind MasterChef and HYBPA? in total people and the demos. Likewise Nine’s appalling Celebrity Apprentice — 571,000, which like BB will reach close to 700,000, if not more, on the seven-day figures.
Breakfast and morning TV numbers were lower than usual because of the holiday.
Seven’s news drew more than 1.63 million people on average for the 6-7pm hour, boosted by the traditional Collingwood-Richmond match, taking it ahead of Nine’s 1.2 million average. Despite that strong showing by Seven’s hour of news, Nine won the night in total people and the main channels from Ten and the ABC.
Bluey’s new eps for the ABC saw 632,000 in the morning and 276,000 in the afternoon. That’s a total of 908,000 viewers for the six minutes — mostly littlies who don’t count for ratings but enjoy themselves more than most other viewers.
