Tennis helps Seven to comfortable win as AACTAs struggle to find an audience on Ten
Seven easily won the night with its broadcast of The Australian Open men’s semi final clash between Andy Murray and Thomas Berdych which was the most-watched non-new show of the evening with a metro audience of 995,000.
The channel grabbed a winning audience share 26.8 per cent as Nine lagged behind on a share of 20 per cent. Both the ABC and Ten fell below the 10 per cent share mark, with Ten grabbing a share of 9.9 per cent as the ABC settled for a share of 9.4 per cent.
Ten’s share was dragged down by a small audience for its broadcast of the AACTA Awards from 8.30pm, which pulled just 297,000 viewers according to OzTam’s overnight metro ratings.
Nine’s third outing of The Block Triple Threat saw its audiences slide from 965,000 to 779,000 as it was not aired in Perth, with its broadcast there held back until Sunday when it will be shown after the tri-series cricket final which is due to finish there at 7pm. In its stead Perth was treated to episodes of Kalgoorlie Cops and Kings Cross ER in its place.
The Block still managed to be the most watched show amongst the 18-49 and 25-54 demographics.
Ten’s most-watched show of the evening was Ten Eyewitness News at 5pm, which was watched by 640,000. Family Feud at 6pm lured a metro audience of 571,000 as The Project a t 6.30pm had an audience of 451,000 before boosting to 560,000 at 7pm.
A repeat of Jamie’s 15 Minute Meals at 7.30pm was watched by 377,000 before audiences dived for the AACTA’s.
In news, Nine won the night with a 6pm audience of 1.092m and a 6.30pm audience of 1.003m. Seven News at 6pm grabbed an audience of 858,000 while the Seven News and Today Tonight at 6.30pm was watched by 825,000.
Looking at the secondary channels, Nine’s GO! led the charge with a share of 5.4 per cent with an episode of The Big Bang Theory watched by 303,000.
7TWO grabbed a share of 5.2 per cent and managed to beat Ten in Perth, grabbing a share of 11.8 per cent compared to Ten’s share of 8.9 per cent.
