First Contact grabs decent audience for SBS as Dancing with the Stars tops entertainment

SBS One enjoyed an audience boost last night thanks to its new documentary First Contact, which pulled in a respectable audience of 433,000 at 8.30pm for the network on yet another night where no show broke the 1m viewer mark.

Seven won the night with an audience share of 20.3 per cent courtesy of Dancing with the Stars which was the evening’s most watched non-news program with 908,000 viewers tuning in for the two-hour show from 7.30pm according to OzTam’s metro overnight ratings.

The reality show boosted its audience from last week’s 886,000 and trumped Nine’s offering of David Attenborough’s Life in the 7.30pm timeslot which was watched by 643,000. Both shows out-rated Ten’s Recipe to Riches which saw its audience tumble to 466,000 from 523,000 last week.
