February 9, 2016 10:12

Seven’s news special on the murder of Anita Cobby performed well last night drawing 1.109m metropolitan viewers, despite being on after 9pm.

The strong performance came off the back of cooking reality show My Kitchen Rules, which built audience on last week pulling 1.675m, compared with 1.576m a week ago.

Nine’s Australia’s Got Talent also built week-on-week, drawing 851,000, up from 785,000, while I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here was down week-on-week with a metro audience of 735,000 but was still above the audience of 650,000 that it was pulling this time last year.

Seven’s broadcast of the Superbowl 50 during the day also performed well with preliminary OzTAM Ratings showing the telecast on Seven’s main channel had an average metro audience of 403,000 viewers.
