A closely fought Monday night sees Nine take the win but Ten top the demographics

The TV ratings battle was closely fought on Monday night as all the networks rolled out their flagship reality content. Nine was the victor, holding a 20.8% audience share for its primary channel and 28.1% as a network.

But it was Ten that topped the key advertising demographics of 16-39, 18-49 and 25-54, and had the most-watched entertainment program of the night. Masterchef Australia was watched by 943,000 metro viewers and 1.256m nationally and topped the demos, followed by Have You Been Paying Attention? which brought in 824,000 metro viewers.
