MasterChef Australia-Season 8-Episode43-0

Just a day ahead of the return of Offspring, TEN has a spring in its step.

Last night it was the leading primary channel, with MasterChef hitting its best numbers all year, at 1.13m viewers. It trounced Seven and Nine offerings, both of which were under 700k. NCIS  also led its timeslot. That leaves tonight as a very interesting battle as Offspring joins the fray….

Aside from Home and Away neither Seven nor Nine could manage an entertainment title above 700,000 last night. The Force managed 691,000 while both 20 to One and Britain’s Got Talent were down on last week.

But multichannels still helped Seven network win the night with 28.4% then Nine 25.1%, TEN 24.8%, ABC 15.3% and SBS 6.3%.

Seven News drew 1.11m / 1.09m for Seven then Home and Away (780,000), The Force (691,000 / 657,000), The Chase (678,000 / 416,000) and In Cold Blood: The Chris Lane Story (507,000).

Nine News 1.02m / 1.00m was best for Nine then A Current Affair (888,000), 20 to One (683,000), Britain’s Got Talent (593,000) and Hot Seat (541,000). 2 Broke Girls drew 270,000 / 150,000.

MasterChef was #1 for TEN with 1.13m viewers. The Project was 715,000 / 492,000, NCIS was 670,000, TEN Eyewitness News was 530,000 and NCIS: LA was 483,000 / 262,000.

ABC News (751,000), 7:30 (605,000), Catalyst (475,000), David Attenborough’s Life That Glows (428,000), Foreign Correspondent (290,000) and Antiques Roadshow (285,000) comprised ABC’s night.

On SBS it was Great Continental Railway Journeys (343,000), Insight (230,000), SBS World News (179,000) and Dateline (122,000).

Shaun the Sheep remained best on multichannels with a round 300,000.

Today Extra: 169,000 / 108,000
The Morning Show: 150,000 / 111,000
Studio 10: 75,000 / 45,000

  1. With WIN set to join in on Friday their top brass must be chuffed.
    On another note, it appears WIN will run Family Feud on what was their GEM channel 82 at 6pm weeknights.

  2. We thought last nights MC was dull and boring,in fact Heston week has been uninspiring they have no concept or ability to rival his works,the ice cream challenge…ho-hum . They have all been found out this week as average cooks with.luttle inspiration, but we will keep.watching to keep hearing, ” i may ne in elimination “, ” i don’t want to wear black” or the obligatory cry..
    And when.they do they pull themselves together and don’t get eliminated

  3. I didn’t watch NCIS last night. I spent last night catching up on bones (1ep), love child and footy classified. That finished up around 8.30pm but NCIS wasn’t scheduled to start till 8.50pm. Didn’t feel like watching rubbish on tv so I went off and did other things with the intention to return and watch NCIS but got distracted and didn’t watch tv for the rest of the night.

  4. Without House Rules to compete, and an episode that focussed on chocolate, this is not surprising. I think this will be an anomaly rather than a trend.

  5. MasterChef #1 with best numbers. Massive result for TEN.

    Surprised with NCIS, considering recent weeks & promos, thought last night would have been 750-800k? Still won its slot though.

    Wonder if Network Ten will have a win tonight?

    Assuming MasterChef gets over 1.1m again, Offspring gets over 900k & The Project / Family Feud fair well too…
