Significantly more Aussies signed up to watch this year’s Eurovision song contest than last year, as Sweden’s Loreen emerged victorious.
This year’s contest was hosted in the United Kingdom as last year’s winner, Ukraine, was unable to host for reasons that we hope are obvious.
A total of 299,000 metro viewers signed up to watch the show on SBS, marginally up from last year’s numbers of 204,000 views.
Meanwhile, the first half of the finale of Seven’s Farmer Wants A Wife had 668,000 views, making it the most-watched entertainment show of the night.
Network 10’s MasterChef Australia pulled in a total of 478,000 views, whilst The Summit – Launch pulled in 401,000 views.
Overall Seven won the night with 31,0 per cent of views, followed by Nine with 27.4 per cent of views, Network 10 with 16.4 per cent of views, the ABC with 13.7 per cent of views and SBS with 11.4 per cent of views.
