Nine wins a competitive Sunday night, despite pressure from Masterchef and the AFL

Nine took the crown on Sunday night, despite a competitive day of programming from the other free to air networks. In the afternoon, Seven’s AFL drew 445,000 metro viewers against Nine’s NRL which brought in 256,000.

But in the evening, Nine’s The Voice delivered 924,000 metro viewers and 1.352m nationally – just slipping above Ten’s Masterchef which brought in 945,000 metro viewers and 1.221m nationally and far ahead of Seven’s Big Brother which delivered 695,000 metro viewers and 991,000 for its elimination.
