The Chase Australia, Home & Away and News help Seven narrowly win the night
Seven narrowly beat Nine and Ten on Thursday night, with a 17.7% audience share ahead of Nine’s 17.6% and Ten’s 14.8%.
The win was largely thanks to Seven News at 6pm topping the ratings ladder (1.019m metro viewers), Seven News at 6:30pm/ Today Tonight coming in second (962,000 viewers), The Chase Australia (674,000 in eighth place) and Home & Away (664,000 in ninth), according to OzTAM’s overnight preliminary ratings.
Seven was less prominent in the 7:30pm timeslot, when Drivers Make You Laugh Out Loud pulled a metro audience of 475,000. Seven’s offering was up against Ten’s Masterchef which had 917,000 viewers and was the most-watched non-news program of the night.
Masterchef’s elimination episode in Japan was also the most-watched show across the key advertising demographics – 16-39s, 18-49s, 25-54s.
At the same time, a repeat of Nine’s RBT had a metro audience of 601,000.
