Seven’s Rio wrap-up sheds viewers as The Bachelor gains ground

Seven’s Olympic wrap-up program In Rio Today shed thousands of viewers at 7:00pm last night, attracting just 845,000 metro viewers down on last week’s audience of 1.014m, according to OzTAM overnight metro ratings.

Though this represents an audience loss of 169,000, the program retained its grip as the most-watched non-news program of the evening.

Ten’s The Bachelor at 7:30pm was hard on its heels, closing the audience gap with 838,000 metro viewers. The Bachelor remained the most popular program among all three key advertising demographics (16-39, 18-49 and 25-54).
