How to Get Away with Murder rallies as ABC beats Nine and Ten reality offerings
My Kitchen Rules again dominated the ratings overnight as the ABC’s 7.30 beat Nine’s The Block and Ten’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, as How to Get Away with Murder rallies slightly for Seven. 
Seven easily won the audience share last night with 24.4 percent of the audience, helped largely by a strong performance from MKR in the 7.30pm time slot on 1.6 m viewers, making it the only show to top more than a million. This was a shift up from last week’s 1.467m viewers, according to OzTam overnight metro ratings.
The network’s share was also buoyed by a lift for new US drama How to get Away With Murder, which lifted from last week’s low of 587,000 viewers with 609,000 tuning in this week. Last week’s episode was the most time shifted viewing of the previous week’s episode was taken into account the figure rose to 762,000.
Over on Nine The Block Triple Threat only managed 726,000, down on last week’s 793,000 in the same 7.30pm time slot, while Ten’s I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here was further back with 668,000, slightly up last week’s 663,000. The ABC’s 7.30 attracted 738,000 viewers beating both The Block and I’m a Celebrity.
The ABC’s two part series Reinventing the Royals had a weaker share for its debut in the 8pm time slot with 467,000 viewers witching on. Nine ran three back to back episodes of The Big Bang Theory from 8.50pm through to 10.15pm; with the first two placing in the top 15 with 871,000 and 692,000 respectively.
