MasterChef: The Professionals maintains the million mark

The first week’s outing of MasterChef: The Professionals has paid off for the Ten Network with all three episodes topping the million mark.

Last night’s eviction episode attracted 1.020m capital city viewers, and was again the top rating non-news program for the third night running according to preliminary OzTAM figures.

MasterChef: The Professionals was fourth for Tuesday overall behind Seven News (1.192m, Nine News (1.163m and Today Tonight (1.108m).
