Sunday TV Ratings: “As Aussie as Vegemite!!!!!!” – Seven’s Mushroom 50 Live Is A Hit

Seven’s Mushroom 50 Live – an emotional tribute to the late and great Founder of Mushroom Records Michael Gudinski – has proved to be a hit with viewers across the country.

The show was the most-watched entertainment show on TV last night with a total of 557,000 Aussies signing up to watch.

Performances from the likes of Dan Sultan, Leonardo’s Bride, Jimmy Barnes, Paul Kelly, Ian Moss and Miggy Higgins won the hearts of the nations in what was undoubtedly a celebration of Aussie music.

The concert ran for four and a half hours, paying tribute to 50 years of indie label Mushroom.

Set up by Gudinkski, Mushroom is largely credited with helping to birth Australia’s music industry. Prior to Mushroom, imported music from other countries ruled the roost in Australia and Aussie music was rarely celebrated on a global stage.

It is little surprise that singer Kate Cerebano said the show was “as Aussie as Vegemite”.

Elsewhere, Network 10’s Dessert Masters pulled in 441,000 metro viewers. ABC’s Annika pulled in 398,000 metro viewers and the ABC’s  Joanna Lumley’s Britain had 376,000 metro views.
