Offspring returns with just 868,000 viewers but good numbers in key advertising demographics
The season return of family drama Offspring delivered a metro audience of 868,000 for Ten last night.
The Asher Keddie fronted comedy drama was the 12th most watched show of the evening, according to preliminary ratings from OzTAM.
It was Ten’s biggest show of the night, but some distance from when it made its premiere in 2010 with a 1.124m debut.
However, Offspring performed much more strongly in the key advertising demographics. It was third for the night in 16-39, 18-49 and 25-54.
Menawhile, the audience for Seven’s House Rules remained touch-and-go on Wednesday, delivering 900,000 viewers, down from the previous evening, but up on the same night a week before.
Nine’s renovation contest The Block rated 1.156m, just behind Nine’s The Big Bang Theory, which averaged 1.16m. Arrow rated 963,000.
Nine won the night with a 24.1 per cent share, followed by Seven on 18.6 per cent. Ten was on 13.4 per cent and ABC1 on 13.9 per cent.

It concerns me how many people seriously watch ACA and TodayTonight. They are nothing but salacious gossip shows and not real news.
