House Rules only non-news program to crack 1m metro viewers

May 23, 2017 10:14

Seven’s House Rules – which got off to a rocky start this season – has continued its return to form, and was last night the only non-news program to crack the 1m metro viewers mark, according to OzTAM’s overnight preliminary metro ratings.

The reality renovation show debuted at the end of April to a metro audience of 1m, but subsequently struggled against the likes of Ten’s Masterchef and Nine’s The Voice, with the second episode slumping to 606,000.

The series has regained traction with audiences over time though and last night placed fifth in the overall metro ratings ladder with 1.026m, behind Seven News (1.131m metro viewers), Nine News’ second half hour at 6:30pm (1.073m), Nine News (1.073) and Seven News’ 6:30pm slot/Today Tonight (1.036m).
