AGT beats Masterchef as the finals continue

A one hour and 45 minute episode of Australia’s Got Talent won Tuesday night’s TV ratings beating Masterchef by almost 200,000.  

It was a dead heat in Melbourne for the top two shows with the first “finals” episode of AGT and the third New York episode of Masterchef both raking in 558,000, according to preliminary metro ratings from OzTam.

The five-city metro audience for AGT was 1.807m.

Prime minister Julia Gillard’s role as co-host of the 7pm Project had little positive influence on the ratings with total viewers down 88,000 on the previous night to 808,000.
