It was a sexual assault case that made global headlines. Chanel Miller was sexually assaulted on Standford University campus in 2015 by Brock Turner.
During the trial, she was simply known as ‘Emily Doe’. Following Brock’s conviction, Miller reclaimed her identity and wrote a book about her story, illuminating a culture biased to protect perpetrators and a criminal justice system designed to fail the vulnerable. Last night on 60 Minutes, Karl Stefanovic interviewed Miller, with 902,000 viewers tuning in to hear her powerful story, according to OzTAM metro numbers. Off the back of that and MAFS once again pulling high numbers (1.18m), Nine easily won the night with 27.0 per cent primary channel share.
Over at Seven, after the news, MKR was its most-watched show with 482,000 viewers, which helped Seven achieve an audience share of 14.5 per cent on its primary channel.
10’s best for the night was the DWTS Elimination, with 410,000 Aussies tuning in. Its primary channel received 9.9 per cent audience share overall.
ABC’s Grand Designs did well with 518,000 views and a main channel audience share of 12.8 per cent.
