Masterchef hands Ten winning audience share as it also delivers in the demos

In a quiet night in TV Masterchef remained strong to be the only non-news show to crack the 1m viewer mark, helping Ten claim a winning audience share of 19.7 per cent.

Masterchef, kicking off from 7.30pm, pulled in 1.11m metro viewers, up on last week’s numbers of 1.025m at 7.30pm to see the elimination of hipster engineer Jared. The Masterclass portion of last night’s episode was watched by 912,000 from 8.30pm.

Masterchef and the Masterclass segment were the first and second most-watched shows amongst the key advertising demographics (16-39, 18-49 and 25-54).
