The Voice drops 500,000 viewers as Queen’s Birthday subdues audiences
Nine’s singing show The Voice dropped more than half-a-million viewers on last week’s outing as the long weekend in most states subdued audiences for Sunday evening’s viewing.
The Voice still won the night in all demographics, getting 1.360m viewers on average for its 90-minute run from 6.30pm, with Seven’s House Rules which ran for an hour from 6.30pm also suffering dropping from 1.3m last week to 1.17m last night, third overall.
Masterchef on at 7.30pm grabbed 736,000 viewers, down 150,000 viewers on last week, but could not match Seven’s Sunday Night which got 1.072m, while Nine’s 60 Minutes was just behind at 8pm with 1.035m viewers.
Ten’s repeats of Modern Family got 505,000 and 445,000 at 6.30pm and 7pm, whilst its Sherlock Holmes drama Elementary got 437,000 viewers from 9pm after Masterchef.
Seven’s A Place to Call Home from 8.30pm got 855,000 viewers, down from 966,000 last week, whilst the ABC found success with Grand Designs at 7.40pm getting 743,000 viewers, and ABC News getting 811,000 at 7pm.
In the battle of 6pm news Nine was beaten by Seven, with 1.147m against 1.292m viewers.

The Voice stopped being fun when we stopped seeing the contestants rejecting Delta.

The Voice isn’t a good format anyway! It’s all about the bitchiness of the judge’s of who has more hits than each other. Plus the contestants are all ex Idol, X Factor, Popstars contestants or failed band members like from Hi-5. There isn’t any proper talent on there besides failed singers – and where are any of the contestants from the previous two years, including the winners?? No where to be seen in the charts!
I’m not surprised that it’s falling in ratings!
