Ten has best Tuesday ratings of 2012, but Seven still dominates

It was a good night for Ten in the ratings, with the network securing its biggest Tuesday audience of 2012 – and taking a bigger share of the audience than Nine.

Ten grabbed 17.6% audience share, beating Nine’s 16.3%.

One episode of Ten’s NCIS passed the million-mark, up from 707,000 last Tuesday. Bondi Vet’s ratings jumped from 618,000 to 747,000 – up 30% on its season average.

And The Biggest Loser is holding on to its audience, rating with 830,000 for the contest episode – and was the third most-watched show in the 18-49 and 16-39 demographics.

A low point, however, was the performance of early morning show Breakfast, which pulled in just 26,000 viewers.

There was no way passed Seven, with the network producing the top-five most watched shows of the night, OzTam’s preliminary overnight metro ratings suggest.

Led by My Kitchen Rules, which won the night with 1.849m, Packed To The Rafters, Seven News, Today Tonight and Home And Away occupied the top slots.

Nine’s only show to beat 1m was Nine News. However, Nine’s breakfast show Today narrowed the gap between it and Seven’s Sunrise to 46,000.
