Aussie Grand Prix beaten to pole by My Kitchen Rules
The Australian Grand Prix did well in the ratings yesterday, pulling in an average of 1.399m for Ten on Sunday.
But the night belonged to Seven, the My Kitchen Rules juggernaut winning pole position with 1.710m for the hour-long show that started at 7.30pm.
It won its time slot beating 60 Minutes on Nine, which rated by 1.187m, Modern Family on Ten (940,000) and Great Expectations on ABC1 (699,000), according to preliminary numbers from OzTam.
Ten’s New Girl recovered from last week’s tumble, up from 783,000 to 891,000, in a good night for the network in the 16-30 and 18-49 demographics. Four of the top six shows in the key advertising demos were Ten’s – the Grand Prix, Modern Family, New Girl and Homeland.
Nine’s The Great Barrier Reef fell just below the 1m mark after a promising showing last week, beaten in the 6.30pm time slot by Sunday Night on Seven. Ten’s Young Talent Time was also up slightly on last week in the same slot, from 610,000 to 689,000.
