Nine’s expensive renovation reality show Home Made remains on the critical list after scraping a TV ratings audience of 1m on Sunday night.

The show was 12th for the night and third in its slot, according to preliminary TV ratings from OzTam. The only bright spot for Nine is that Home Made’s audience was slightly up on Tuesday’s 890,000.

Due to AFL coverage in Adelaide, programming varied slightly across the country, but according to the initial OzTam data, excluding Adelaide, programmes in the 6.30pm slot were: Seven’s Sunday Night – 1.23m; Ten’s Merlin – 1.24m, Nine’s Home Made – 0.87m.

Meanwhile the combination of Merlin and MasterChef is working well for Ten, although Rove’s move to a slightly earlier slot has not delivered the audience boost that might have been expected.
