The Logies may have had One Direction but it was the unknown singers in The Voice that won TV’s ratings battle with a whopping 2.17m viewers last night.
It was followed by The Logie Carpet Arrivals, coded separately with 1.8m viewers. Nine News followed on 1.43m, then the Logie Awards averaging 1.38m across its lengthy broadcast (but figures are yet to be adjusted). Seven News was 1.33m and Dancing with the Stars averaged 1.07m viewers.
TEN took a hit against such competition with The Biggest Loser on 739,000 viewers and the premiere of Avatar was just 553,000.
Nine’s network share for Sunday night was huge: 42% over Seven’s 23.2% and TEN’s 18.1%.
Nine claims The Voice peaked at 2.93m viewers and Logies peaked at 2.76m.
ABC’s best was ABC News on 813,000 followed by Australia: The Time Traveller’s Guide on 699,000. Shirley was 370,000 and the premiere of Auction Room was only 272,000.
Inside the Titanic on Seven was 545,000.
Unsinkable Titanic was 343,000 for SBS.

Watched the Voice but a show like this promised the best and after the Country girl in the green dress was not picked I just lost all respect for the judges,she was one of the stand out performers of the night and unless the intention is to give her some kind of second chance they have lost me.
I taped DWTS, but I’ll be watching live next week. Any show that has Johnny Ruffo in the cast is where I’ll be.
Congratulations to Channel 9 for very good promotion of The Voice and the event lived up to the hype. Much to my surprise, it was very entertaining.
After the fantastic F1 race I watched “Australia: The Time Traveller’s Guide” last night, after the hash job Nine made of “The Great Barrier Reef” this was such an under rated show, full of info with a presenter that knew what they were talking about and not some reporter on a beach reading a script.
Avoiding the Logie’s, The Voice and TBL but did catch a bit of Avatar. TEN would have been better off showing Titanic and saved Avatar for another week. I hope they air it on ONE in HD at some point.
Now, hopefully we’ll witness a more even-sided battle for the points this year.
DWTS has definitely had its day.
Let’s see how the rest of the week pans out.
Disaster with the stars getting worse and worse…
Here comes the Channel 9 bandwagon and Australia’s Got talent start today 😀
Well i expected over 2m for The Voice and it happened. Nine will be very hard to beat this week but you know what if Nine lose this week then it will be an embarrassment. The farce awards did better than i expected.
Tonight should be interesting.
I flicked between DWTS and The Voice.
The Voice is ok, I saw that they’re repeating last nights ep this Saturday. So far I can’t see Seven repeating DWTS.
Ahh, didn’t nine take 40% last year and lose?
AGT v The block, Voice, Apprentice. Seven’s got their hands full
DWTS duration was way too long!
@Jarred – Who didn’t expect Nine to win last night? Who at TEN actually thought anyone would watch “Avatar” since anyone interested in it already has the Blu-Ray?
We watched “The Voice” because nothing else at 6:30 appealed to us, but won’t be following it.
It’s a long way to the end of the week.
DWTS was OK in its first season when they actually had a few “stars”.
I watched DWTS last night and enjoyed it very much. The line-up is interesting and Mel B is a good replacement for Sonia, I thought she’d be dreadful, but she is really very good. The Titanic special on Seven was absolutely fantastic, a real quality production from the Discovery Channel and BBC that deserved triple the audience it received. I don’t have any interest in The Voice – yeah we need another hyped to the hilt talent show hunting for the next great Australian vocalist like we all need a collective hole in the head.
I found The Voice a little tedious, especially the part where the contestants had to chose the judge. Am I the only one who thought that?
Looks like Nine will win this week. The Voice did better than X Factor has ever done for Seven in its audition rounds…I believe the highest XF ever got was 1.8 million (not counting grand finals)
Typically The Voice has experienced a decline in the ratings once the battle rounds start (going by NBC’s version, and others). The real battle will start then
So much for Super Sunday on Ten – what can we move to Sunday now ?
Wow, finally DWTS figures are down,,,about time seven put it away for good….after all look at the “stars” who are on it this time..
Nine have a 20% lead over seven now with The Block and Celebrity Apprentice to be introduced this week. They would Surely have to win this week which would be the first offical week that Nine has won since 2010 (correct me if I’m wrong)
Big line ups all round on the Networks last night. Would have been a shock if Nine didn’t win this one at least.
Wow! amazing numbers for the voice it peaks nationally at 4.1 million according to @meadea on twitter and for dwts the numbers have drop from last year. I think nine may have a chance to win this week.
One more thing has anyone check their epg cause nine is replaying the voice this sat night
Wow, DWTS took a bit of a battering … and Titanic sank (pardon the pun).
The Voice was great, a lot of talent especially that Karise Eden! Wow
With figures like that and its lineup this week, you’d think it would be difficult for Nine to lose the week. But we’ll wait and see…
Disaster with the Stars got 1 mil. Oh dear. Well done to Nine though- the ratings last night were huge!
Ten must be disappointed with the figures for Avatar, but not surprised giving the competition.
With Karl and Hamish the last two winners of the Gold Logie, I have no confidence in the Australian public to use their phones wisely.
