Love Child rises on third outing while Masterchef draws 1.1m and boosts share
The third outing of Nine’s drama Love Child saw the show lift with an metro audience of 859,000, up from last week when the show drew 816,000.
The result is a win for the TV network, coming on the back of last week’s ratings tumble where it shed 116,000 viewers from its Season 2 debut.
It came on a night when Ten’s reality cooking show Masterchef once again dominated with 1.1m viewers, making it the most watched show of the night outside of news, and boosting its share above rival Seven.
Seven’s House Rules in the 7.30pm slot drew 828,000 viewers beating Nine’s Reno Rumble which was 752,000.
In the news stakes Nine News beat Seven drawing 1.14m in the 6pm slot and 1.07m in the 6.30pm slot compared with Seven on 959,000 and 954,000 respectively.
In overall share on the main channel Nine won the night with 19.3 per cent, Ten had 18.5 per cent and Seven was on 17.7 per cent.
