Australia’s Got Talent launches to 814,000, but is unable to topple Australian Ninja Warrior

Australia’s Got Talent returned to Seven on Sunday night with a new lineup of hosts including My Kitchen Rules’ Manu Feildel, actor and Full Monty host Shane Jacobson, US singer Nicole Scherzinger, and performer Lucy Durack. The show drew 814,000 metro viewers for its premiere, meaning it was the second most-watched entertainment show of the evening.

The top spot, both in the entertainment category and overall, went to Australian Ninja Warrior on Nine. It brought in 1.15m metro viewers, higher than its premiere of 1.01m at the beginning of July and the biggest episode for the show so far this season.
