The Block is back on Nine, bringing in its 15th season, but the renovation giant failed to crack 1m metro viewers with its first episode, instead drawing in 991,000.

2018 saw the show bring in 1.163m metro viewers for the premiere, up against the launches of Seven’s Little Big Shots and Ten’s Russell Coight: All Aussie Adventures, and in 2017 it drew 1.117m metro viewers against the launch of Ten’s Australian Survivor.
