Monday night was a big one in TV-land, with the launch of 10’s The Masked Singer going head-to-head with Nine’s Ninja Warrior Finale, which ultimately won the fight.

Australian Ninja Warrior did 1.06m, peaking with its winner announcement, which saw 1.119m Aussies tune in, according to OzTAM metro data. However, its finale numbers were down 13 per cent on 2019.

Meanwhile, 10’s The Masked Singer season two debuted to 733,000 metro viewers, peaking at 823,000 with its first mask reveal. While not a bad number, it is significantly down on its 2019 launch, which saw 1.16million viewers tune in.

Network 10 Head of Programming, Daniel Monaghan, said: “The Masked Singer Australia has roared back onto our screens with all the fun, spectacle and wackiness Australians have come to love from this show.

“On a highly competitive night, the first episode of the new season performed very well, with 1.13 million viewers nationally for the big reveal and 1 million earlier in the night. The Masked Singer Australia significantly lifted our audience in its timeslot and created real buzz on social media last night. The best is yet to come, with great singing, great dancing and lots of jaw-dropping moments as we reveal who is behind the masks.”

Over at Seven with no launches or finales, its best for the night was Farmer Wants A Wife, which saw 696,000 viewers tune in.
