Revenge almost bags 2m in Monday ratings

Seven’s thriller Revenge came just short of 2m viewers last night.

The show leapfrogged Seven’s My Kitchen Rules to win the night, according to preliminary overnight ratings from OzTam.

The two shows were not far off 4m viewers combined, helping Seven to 30.3% share – almost 10% share ahead of next-placed Nine.

Ratings for Ten’s early morning show Breakfast dipped by a quarter on last Monday, when the show pulled in 56,000 viewers.  However, the show is pulling in an average of 41,000 viewers.

Seven’s Sunrise won the battle at breakfast comfortably, with 407,000 viewers to 349,000 on Today on Nine.

Ten’s most watched show of the night was the weigh-in and elimination round of The Biggest Loser, which ranked 13th with 862,000 – and was well down on last week’s 943,000 viewers. But again the show was well inside the top ten in the 16-39 and 18-49 demographics.

Like last week, Ten was beaten by the ABC1 for channel share.

Nine’s Sam Neill-fronted prison drama Alcatraz has halted its decline, stablising with 781,000 viewers – but down from its 1m+ debut.
