Ten gets a break as Masterchef inches closer to a million viewers.
Ten’s Masterchef franchise inched higher in last night’s ratings, coming close to a million viewers with 987,000 in the 7.30pm time slot tuning in to make it the fifth most watched program.
The result was well up on last week’s Thursday night result where it achieved a similar result with 882,000 viewers.
Meanwhile on other channels, Thursday night’s ratings were dominated by news and current affairs with Seven News winning the night with 1.149 million viewers followed buy Nine News on 1.136 million. Overall ratings hare was spread fairly evenly with only Nine managing to take more than 20 per cent with 20.9 per cent. Seven followed with 17.5 per cent, Ten had 14.7 per cent and ABC came in with 13.2 per cent.
Seven News/Today Tonight scored 1.039 million in third and Nine News 6.30 was fourth with 1.026 million.
Well, der, House Rules isn’t on Thursday nights. Ten should have waited until HR was finished before putting MC to air. It’s not rocket science.
