Ten scores two top ten shows after horror week

Network Ten got a boost to its audience share with two shows in the top ten in last night’s ratings after a horror week that saw the axing of its breakfast show Wake Up and the announcement 150 staff would be cut from its news and current affairs and operations divisions.

Masterchef hit the seventh spot with 948,000 viewers and Modern Family’s Wedding second episode was in at number nine with 808,000 viewers, jumping from just 699,000 for the first episode on the same night, according to the OzTam preliminary metro overnight ratings.

Nine won the night’s ratings, easily beating rival Seven with 25.9 per cent of the overall audience to Seven’s 19.8 per cent, whilst Ten picked up a 14.8 per cent share, up from 11.1 per cent last week.

The result was largely driven by ratings winner The Voice which topped last night with 1.86 million people tuning in to the reality singing contest at 6.30pm, down from 1.967m who tuned in last week, but the program easily won the 16-39, 18-49 and 25-54 demographics.
