Masterchef gets over 1m in absence of House Rules and The Voice
Ten’s Masterchef had over 1m metro viewers for the first time in the series last night helping the channel to one of its best audience shares for the year according to preliminary overnight metro ratings from OzTam.
Masterchef was the most watched program from 7.30pm to 9pm and well ahead of competition from Seven and Nine in the absence of their major franchises The Voice and House Rules.
The program was also the most watched show in people 25-54.
Nine’s Top Gear, the first part of the Burma Special, had 583,000 metro viewers in three cities as it was not on in Adelaide and Perth, where the network ran two episodes of The Big Bang Theory.
I want to storm into Ten’s programming dept and slap them all – when will they learn that they need to own Wed-Sat and hand the first half of the week over to the other networks. 1m for a Thursday night is nearly unheard of. Exasperating!
There was NOTHING else to watch. Or to quote Homer Simpson “Default? The two sweetest words in the English language! De-FAULT! De-FAULT! De-FAULT!”
I am enjoying this season of MasterChef . Welcome back
