Married at First Sight (MAFS) was #2 with 834 000 and absolutely dominated the competition. The figure was the second highest for the season and only 6000 viewers off its opening episode of the season. 60 Minutes was strong at #4 overall and crushed the competition in the slot with 623 000 viewers. Nine News Late Sunday was #10 with 373 000. The First 48 had 100 000 viewers just after 10pm. A repeat of Manhunt: The Wests was on 49 000. From next week, Nine will shift The First 48 and Manhunt: The Wests an hour later and fill the earlier slot with a repeat of Australian Crime Stories.

Multi Channels
Winner: 10 Bold / 10 Peach (2.7%)
Second: 7two / 7mate (2.3%)
With all the tentpoles on the main channel and the ABC doing well, there wasn’t much action on the multi channels with a two way two for first with just a 2.7% share. SBS WorldWatch got off its 0.0 rating to be 0.1 last night.
10 Bold was equal first with three repeat episodes of NCIS taking positions #2, #14 and #17.
10 Peach was equal first with 7 repeat episodes of The Big Bang Theory and 6 repeat episodes of Friends.
7two was equal second with three repeat episodes of Border Security: Australia’s Front Line taking positions #8, #10 and #20.
7mate was equal second with two movies – The Amazing Spiderman and Pacific Rim.
Home Shopping
I thought I would throw a somewhat interesting result in here today. Most people are annoyed by the amount of infomercials that the the networks play and wonder if anyone actually watches them. As I flicked through the rankings today, here are some results:
69 000 – Nine
55 000 – Seven
Putting that in perspective – more people watched Nine’s Home Shopping than watched Born to Kill, For the Love of Pets, the movie Rocky, a repeat of The Big Bang Theory, Bondi Vet and the movie Dirty Harry on 9Gem. The same amount of people watched Home Shopping on Seven as they did The Amazing Spiderman movie in primetime on 7mate.
