Ten saw a strong Tuesday ratings result, with NCIS the most-watched show for the night, but it proved more popular among older viewers, while younger audiences turned to Seven’s My Kitchen Rules and Nine’s Top Gear.

NCIS had a commanding ratings lead with over 1.5 million viewers, bettering its performance last week of 1.363 million, according to overnight preliminary OzTam data in the main metro markets.

Ten’s channel share of 21.8 per cent in overall free-to-air viewing was also noticeably up from the 15.2 per cent it attracted yesterday, when it was beaten by ABC1 with its share of 16.3 per cent.

Meanwhile, My Kitchen Rules (MKR) was the second most-watched show yesterday with 1.46 million. However, among viewers aged 16-39 the cooking show was number one, followed by Top Gear, and then NCIS.

Rivers with GRJ, interesting… but somewhat confusing… why exactly was he swimming across the Mersey.. and what purpose did his tour of the sewers actually serve? 🙂

But a pleasant show anyway.
