Updated: Seven will be reminded today that MasterChef was no breakout hit, after a soft launch for its new cooking reality show while TEN resissues its numbers.
The Noughties will end with variety television closing a chapter after Rove bid his own show farewell last week. But Seven took the night and Week 47 of ratings.
Audiences are slipping across the board as we limp to the ratings finish line. But they are hanging on for the Rafter birth, helping Seven to take out another week.
Week 45 saw Seven launch its new digital channel, and the Melbourne Cup delivering it their biggest audience all year. And there were celebrations in Community Television.
Without any events or boosts from digital channels, Channel Seven won the ratings week -thanks largely to its factual slate underpinning consistent programming.
