Ten’s new US comedy Modern Family last night held its ratings share after the airing of its second episode, while Nine narrowly won the night with solid results for Top Gear, its evening news and a repeat of Two and a Half Men.

However, Nine’s double episode of Survivor, which included the finale of the show, failed to make the top ten in overall free-to-air TV viewing.

Modern Family was the third most-watched show for the night with 1.548m tuning in – little change from Tuesday’s ratings.

An average of just over a million for a program that went for about 3 hours is actually a pretty impressive effort by Survivor.

Can’t believe Sandra won!
