Masterchef up above a million again, but 24 can’t hold audience
Singing proved a bigger draw than cooking among TV viewers last night as Channel 9’s The Voice comfortably held off Ten’s Masterchef to be the top rated show of the evening.
The Voice, now into its live ‘showdowns’, pulled in 1.32 million viewers, according to the OzTam overnight rankings, with Masterchef watched by 1.07m and down in seventh place. Both shows kicked off at 7.30pm.
In the news battleground, Nine also came top with 1.27m viewers in the first half an hour, falling to 1.19m from 6.30pm. Seven News drew 1.24m with Seven News/Today Night attracting 1.13m.
Nine’s ratings helped it capture a 24.8 per cent share of overall audience, ahead of Seven’s 17.2 per cent and Ten’s 11.9 per cent.
