Recipe to Riches builds audience on second outing despite quiet ratings night

The second outing of Ten’s second season of Recipes to Riches has modestly boosted its audiences from 561,000 last week to 575,000, according to preliminary overnight ratings from OzTam.

It wasn’t quite enough for the Woolworths funded show to win the 7.30pm timeslot, with Seven’s Dancing with the Stars grabbing a metro audience of 902,000 and Nine’s Big Brother luring an audience of 591,000.

Dancing with the Stars, which aired from 7.30pm to 9.30pm, was the most-watched non-news program of the night, however it was down on last week’s audience of 954,000, in an evening where audiences were down across the board with Nine News at 6pm the only show to crack the 1m audience mark.

Big Brother, which ran from 7.30pm to 9.30pm, was the most watched show amongst people aged 16-39 and the second most watched show amongst the 18-49 demographic. However, it was down on last week’s audience of 621,000.
