Sunday Ratings | Zonfrillo tribute leads into a MASTERCHEF AUSTRALIA premiere win

A delicate night for the Network played well and delivered two solid wins.

Channel 7

A solid offering put up by Seven saw Farmer Wants A Wife (609,000) deliver well though get pushed into second, however 7News Spotlight (372,000) capitalised on its story took the win. Born To Kill? (121,000) maintained a small audience, and only determined fans tuned in for the late night premiere of Quantum Leap (62,000).

Seven first in both primary (20.9%) and network (27.5%) rankings.

Channel 10

10 gave it a good shake, with the tribute to Jock Zonfrillo in The Project: A Tribute to Jock (610,000) being both very good and gave it a good bump to lead into the understandably delayed fifteenth season premiere of MasterChef Australia (761,000) which performed very well and took the primetime slot. A new ep of NCIS: Hawaii (235,000) and a repeat of FBI (128,000) meant the majority of the audience didn’t hang around.

10 second in primary (19.7%) and third in network (24.3%) rankings.

Channel 9

Nine leant in with the penultimate episode of their Grand Masters series of Lego Masters Australia (567,000), which performed well though lands in third. 60 Minutes (340,000) had a similar fate, as the rest of the evening depended on the true crime offerings of Australian Crime Stories (102,000) and The First 48 (58,000).

Nine third in primary (18.7%) and second in network (25.2%) rankings.

ABC

Grand Designs (364,000) led the ABC’s night, before they doubled down with the season 23 finale of Midsomer Murders (369,000), and a repeat looking at the most dangerous place to live in the UK Midsomer Murders: 25 Years of Mayhem (222,000). A repeat of Interview with the Vampire (51,000) rounded out Aunty’s offering.

ABC fourth in both primary (11.9%) and network (15.8%) rankings.

SBS

Little interest in most of SBS’s night, from Lost Beasts: Secrets of the Deadly T-Rex (85,000) to a repeat of Titanic: The New Evidence (74,000), and rounding out with The Coronation: A Day To Remember (36,000).

SBS fifth in both primary (3.3%) and network (7.2%) rankings.
