Nine wins night with The Block while Ten struggles with repeats of Modern Family

Nine’s The Block Glasshouse trumped Seven’s X Factor Live Performances, with nearly 1.5m metro viewers tuning in for the renovation reality TV show while The X Factor attracted a metro audience of 1.29m.

The Block helped Nine win the night, with an audience share of 24.2 per cent, according to OzTam overnight ratings. The Block was the most watched show across all demographics.

However, Ten’s double billing of repeat episodes of Modern Family, including the Australia episode which aired at the end of April, saw the channel only manage an audience share of 8.9 per cent, less than half of Nine and Seven. The first episode was watched by 367,000 metro viewers before the audiences climbed to 481,000 for the Australia episode. When it originally aired it was watched by metro audience of 1.049m.

In the news battleground Nine was the winner with a metro audience of 1.321m viewers while Seven News was watched by 1.260m metro viewers at 6pm.
