Seven wins a quiet Wednesday night despite Masterchef’s strength in key advertising demographics
Without The Voice to battle against, Seven has taken the overall win on Wednesday night, holding 19.2% of the audience share. But in the key advertising demographics it was Ten’s Masterchef that prevailed, topping 16-39s, 18-49s and 25-54s.
Seven’s win comes on a relatively quiet night of television which saw the network’s Home & Away take the title for most-watched entertainment program with 671,000 metro viewers.
Masterchef is proving popular with the key advertising demographics
Seven News took the top spot on 1.081m viewers, while Nine News brought in 955,000. ABC News delivered a strong performance, seeing 715,000 metro viewers tune in. The broadcaster also had success with Anh’s Brush With Fame. The show picked up 80,000 viewers on last week, with 626,000 people tuning in to watch Anh Do paint The Alannah & Madeline Foundation founder Walter Mikac.
