Puberty Blues final takes 578,000 for Ten

The Puberty Blues finale brought 578,000 metro viewers to channel Ten last night, up on its debut for series two but less than the final for series one.

Ten launched the series to 544,000 in March, more than a year after the first series concluded in October 2012 to an audience of 707,000, according to preliminary overnight metro ratings from OzTam.

It was third in its 9pm timeslot which was dominated by channel Nine as OzTam recorded 1.277m metro viewers for sitcom Mom, while Seven was second in the timeslot with 737,000 for The Blacklist.

Meanwhile the television premiere of Jonah from Tonga, with Chris Lilley, launched to 414,000 on ABC1 at 9pm.
