The vital AFL clash between Hawthorn and Port Adelaide last night helped Seven draw a bumper audience of 467,000 viewers in Melbourne and Adelaide from 7.30pm last night, enough to give it the primary channel victory for the night.

The Chase Australia at 5.30pm and Home and Away at 7pm pulled 717,000 and 650,000 metro viewers, the most popular entertainment programs of the evening after Ten’s Masterchef, according to OzTam’s overnight metro ratings.

Shark Tank’s season finale increased its viewership.

After a bumper week split Thursday night audiences meant Masterchef was unable to crack the million barrier last night, grabbing 952,000 viewers at 7.30pm. It was also the most popular program among the key advertising demographics (16-39, 18-49, 25-54).
