Ten scores just 9.1% audience share in absence of Masterchef

Last night, none of the TV networks had big flagship programs to draw in audiences, leaving Ten with just a 9.1% share.

The absence of reality formats such as Nine’s The Voice, Seven’s Big Brother and Ten’s Masterchef also meant the most-watched entertainment program was Seven’s The Chase Australia, which had 675,000 metro viewers.

The prime-time battle was also quiet, with Nine’s RBT topping the competition with 544,000 metro viewers. Seven’s America’s Got Talent had 456,000, while the final episode of Bondi Rescue – about Sydney’s iconic beach being shut down due to the spread of COVID-19 – had 347,000 on Ten.
