MAFS gives Nine the night, but Today trails ABC parody in Wednesday’s ratings

February 28, 2019 11:11

Married at First Sight continued its all-conquering run in Wednesday night’s ratings, giving Nine a clean sweep across all audiences and the key age demographics for the day.

Wednesday didn’t all Nine’s way, however, with the Today show not only being soundly beaten by Seven’s Sunrise in its own timeslot but also by the ABC’s parody breakfast show, Get Krakin’, later in the day.

Today managed a metro audience of 192,000, well behind Sunrise’s 265,000 while the ABC’s Get Krackin’, broadcast at 9pm, attracted 227,000 viewers.

Get Krackin’ though was dwarfed by the MAFS juggernaut which had exactly a million more metro viewers tune in – 1.277m metro and 1.714m nationally.

Across the key age demographics, MAFS had 386,000 18-39 year olds tune in, 632,000 18-49s and 683,000 in the 25-54 group.
