Dancing With The Stars gets lowest audience ever while The Voice dominates Sunday night
Reality TV took a hit last night with both The Voice and Dancing With the Stars suffering from audience decline, while Ten posted its second consecutive Sunday of a sub-10 per cent audience share.
Dancing With The Stars dropped to its lowest ever audience with 673,000 tuning in at 8pm for the two-hour run, after getting 707,000 viewers last week according to OzTam’s metro overnight rankings.
While The Voice topped the night and all the demographics it also suffered decline with 1.404m viewers at 7pm, down from 1.467m viewers last Sunday. Ten’s top show was a repeat of Modern Family ay 8pm which had 497,000 viewers.
The ABC managed a bigger audience share on the night with 11.8 per cent compared to 9 per cent for Channel Ten, while Nine won the evening with 27.5 per cent, comfortably ahead of Seven’s 19 per cent.
A very bitter ABC audience…..
I quite like the idea of the ABC having a “bitter audience share”, but I presume that’s just a typo and should be “bigger”
Indeed it should Angus- changed now.

Pretty clear that Channel Nine programmers ‘epiphany’ to only do live shows on Sunday has backfired.
In this era of instant news my kids can’t even remember who the contestants are let alone be bothered watching or voting for them. Makes more sense to keep people engaged than allow them to change behaviour…
I think it is a pity all these good family shows are on the same night.
I watch THE VOICE on Sunday night, and DANCING WITH THE STARS on You Tube on Monday.
If they were spread out on different nights, the ratings would be much higher.
