Channel Nine tops the night despite drops for Reno Rumble and Love Child

Nine’s reality offering Reno Rumble and drama Love Child saw audiences tumble on last week’s outings, but the channel still had enough in the tank to grab the biggest audience share of the night.

Masterchef on ten topped the night with 1.145m viewers at 7.30pm, dropping from last week’s 1.204m, while House Rules (756,000) on Seven held up better than Reno Rumble, which dropped 150,000 viewers on last week’s outing to 674,000.

Love Child also saw 116,000 viewers vanish from last week’s season high, but was still the biggest non-news or reality show with 816,000 viewers at 8.30pm. Last week’s show also picked up a bumper 225,000 on time shifted viewing, taking it to 1.152m metro viewers, according to OzTam ratings.
