Nine
Even without Married at First Sight, Nine has continued its Monday winning streak with a 22.0% primary share and a 28.4% network share.
The driving force of this win was Nine’s new 7:30 pm program Lego Masters which was the top non-news program last night (838,000) despite stiff competition from Dancing with the Stars: All Stars and the launch of MasterChef.
While Lego Masters was the top entertainment program last night and #1 in all key demos, its launch episode still suffered a significant dip. This was the lowest launch audience in the shows three seasons after 1.372m in 2019 and 1.239m last year.
This was followed by the second episode of Law & Order: Organised Crime with 341,000 which was down on its launch audience of 414,000.
Seven
On Seven, Dancing with the Stars had 644,000 viewers, up on last Monday’s 558,000 as Tom Williams, Kyly Clarke, Lincoln Lewis, Matty J and Bec Hewitt hit the dance floor. In a world-first, the teams took to the floor for a marathon dance that tested their endurance and technique to secure an extra 10 bonus points from the judges. Bec Hewitt grabbed the top score, placing her at the top of the leaderboard, with Matty J and Tom Williams going home in a double elimination.
Home and Away provided a strong lead in to DWTS with 624,000 viewers.
10
10’s longest-running 7:30 pm franchise, MasterChef Australia, returned last night with 670,000 viewers tuning in. This was down on last year’s launch which brought in 1.23 viewers. While the linear tv numbers were down, the digital numbers were up after having the biggest ever live stream launch and was up 26% on last year’s live stream launch.
The show has returned to its roots as it unearthed a new talented bunch of cooks, returning to amateur chefs after using an all-star format last year.
Hughesy We Have a Problem followed MasterChef with 254,000.
On The Project, 342,000 (6:30 pm) and 517,000 (7:00 pm) tuned in as the show covered what a royal commission into veteran suicide means for the grieving families, and also talked to the MasterChef judges.
