Low ratings for Masterchef MasterClass

June 7, 2013 1:41

Masterchef had another tough night Thursday with its MasterClass episode in culinary instruction drawing an audience of 489,000 viewers to Network Ten, preliminary overnight metro ratings show.

Since the series launched on Sunday with 1.1m viewers – around 20 per cent down on last year’s opening audience – the number of viewers dropped to 739,000 on Monday before recovering slightly to 860,000 on Tuesday.

The masterclass format always tends to rate far less well than the competitive shows in the franchise.

The OzTAM numbers also show the gap was again closebetween competing renovation shows House Rules and The Block, with The Block scoring 1.16m viewers and House Rules 1.066m viewers on Channel Seven.
