The Block tops lacklustre evening as Wallabies tense Rugby World Cup win pulls 82,000
The Block topped the night on a lacklustre evening on TV last night with just three shows breaking the million viewer mark.
However the results were affected by Seven’s annual Telethon in Perth over the weekend, with the 26-hour event taking $25.8m. It managed an average of 188,000 viewers for the duration of the marathon telecast.
It meant that shows including Beach Cops (730,000 at 8pm) and Sunday Night (896,000 at 7pm) were not shown on the main channel in the west. However Sunday Night still managed to outrate Nine’s 60 Minutes which was shown ay 8.30pm and had 886,000 viewers.
The Block managed 1.140m, slightly down on last week, but topped the night and all the demographics, helping Nine to a winning share of 23.5 per cent, according to OzTam metro overnight ratings.
