Seven and Nine in dead heat after Seven was buoyed by The Blacklist

September 30, 2014 10:14

Last night saw Seven and Nine run a dead heat in the ratings with both TV networks pulling a 22.5 per cent metro audience share on their respective main channels.

Seven was buoyed by the return of US drama The Blacklist which drew 1.048m on its season return and also The X Factor which performed solidly drawing an audience of 1.161m. In the 9.30pm slot SHIELD drew an audience of 500,000.

However, the result was not enough to topple Nine’s renovation show The Block which was the most watched program of the night with 1.333m viewers.

Nine also saw an improvement in the 8.40pm slot with Big Brother which had 735,000 viewers an improvement from the 640,000 viewes it had last week when it was up against the Brownlow Medal.
