Nine:

• Married at First Sight has once again cemented itself as Australia’s No.1 program. Last week it took out the Top 4 rankings with People 25-54, 16-39, GS 18+ and Total People.
• Sunday’s episode of Married at First Sight was the No.1 program of the week by audience, recording a Total TV average audience of 1.981 million, including 633,000 on 9Now. This number will increase in the weeks ahead, as the BVOD number continues to build.
• The strength of 9Now was illustrated with more people in the key demographic of 16-39 watching the Sunday and Monday episodes of Married at First Sight on 9Now than on linear. In the 16-39 demographic, MAFS has had a stronger audience across 9Now than the next best performing program (Australian Survivor) has had across Total TV.
