Seven first, TEN second on Tuesday.

By David Knox on July 11, 2012 / Filed Under News 19

MasterChef‘s Italian sojourn continues to draw a crowd, last night floating to the top of the heap. At 1.33m it helped TEN move into second place for the night.

But Seven won the evening with 29.2% then TEN 25.7%, Nine 22.7%, ABC 16.4%, and SBS 6.1%.

Seven News led for Seven on 1.27m then Today Tonight (1.15m), Winners and Losers (1.07m), Home and Away (945,000), Once Upon a Time (936,000), Pictures of You (720,000), Deal or No Deal (598,000), The Price is Right (324,000) and Fairly Legal (277,000).

Nine News (1.21m) and ACA (1.00m) pulled a crowd for Nine but then the problems began. The Voice US (635,000) ranked lower than its Monday debut of 669,000, and was lower than Hot Seat‘s 728,000.

    I can confirm for you David that there was no 2 Broke Girls in regional centres in NSW at least. This is because WIN show a half-hour “local” news which pushes everything back. 2BG would have been removed in order for the schedule to fit.

    Which was fine by me. I love the show but WIN reception was awful last night. So I’ll catch it up tomorrow :)

    2BG was 9pm in 5 cities. Not sure what Regionals did.

    My EPG said last night there was 2 hours of The Voice, and I am sure it had no 2 Broke Girls on it.
    My PVR usually records it and has not got it there.

    Was 2 Broke Girls shown in all states and in regional areas last night ?

    I’m tipping Nine will leave “The Voice US” until the olympics start then move it to the GO! channel

    I know ive said this before,but im really enjoying Once upon a time.I have no idea what ratings a show has to be getting before its scheduling is affected,but i hope ouat continues in its current time slot and not thrown into some other obscure,late time slot

    Kenny- I had a version on my computer and watched 9 at the same time and think the only edit in Episodes last night was 1 swear word was cut in the swearing monologue at the end (Ep 2 in Melb) where ep 1 was cut by at least 7-8 mins (as previously mentioned on this site).
    Still can’t see 9 sticking with this lineup looking at the numbers.

    Pictures of You did well in a 9:30 timeslot.

    @thedavemiester – I think Programming Depts, like the PM, change when change is needed. Nine can always blame the Carbon Tax.

    MasterChef: Why no Bistecca Fiorentina? One of the great meat dishes of Tuscany that attracts “foodies” from all over the world. And you don’t go to Italy for offal when there are so many other wonderful choices!!!

    Thanks for the laugh jezza!

    Can anyone explain 9′s programming for tonight?

    Mentalist repeat, Tricky Business, then a new ep of RPA pushed out to 11pm? Didn’t RPA used to be a flagship program?

    She is so fabulously sour.

    I really enjoyed Episodes – I love the blonde production assistant who did a lot by actually saying very little, just umming and nodding in agreement at everything.

    Although with those numbers I just hope Nine sticks with it although they’ll probably demote it to Gem or Go!

    Don’t know if Voice US will be out of tonight’s schedule but I’m certain that it will have been moved to GO by next Monday. Ten beat Nine in everything after 7pm so I would have been very surprised if Ten had not beat Nine overall.

    Brillant night for ch9…they beat both the ABC and SBS

  16. D@GP July 11, 2012 at 10:37 am -

    Didn’t that other item about The Voice flopping claim 9 was committed to “at least 3 weeks” screening on 9 at those times????

  17. Kenny July 11, 2012 at 10:30 am -

    Noticed, according to the EPG, Episodes ran 35m+ per ep. last night – so what was with the editing last week?

  18. thedavemiester July 11, 2012 at 10:09 am -

    Programming departments have to be the most out of touch people in Australia…..besides Julia Gillard that is.

    How many hours left until Nine announces that The Voice is on GO! next week, and TBBT will be on twenty times per week?
