Reality TV shows most popular with kids but childrens’ television dominates time, ACMA finds

Masterchef Australia, The Voice, I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, The Block, and My Kitchen Rules were the television shows most watched by children aged 0-14 years in 2016, a study commissioned by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has found.

The study, which took place in March this year and surveyed 3500 homes across metropolitan Australia, revealed a steady increase in the time spent by children watching reality television shows.

Masterchef was the most watched program in 2016 for the 0-14 age demographic.
