The Voice has held on to the number one entertainment spot to give Seven its second successive night after the launch yesterday of all three FTAs big-name shows.
Despite shedding 108,000 viewers from its launch audience on Easter Monday, for an overnight five-city metro audience of 735,000, the Voice’s tried and tested formula delivered the goods for Seven with its main channel accumulating 23.3 per cent of the total audience share across the five-city metro overnight audience.
Lego Masters dropped an even 100,000 viewers from Easter Monday to register 572,000 five-city metro viewers. Nine News (840,000 – 6.00pm, 828,000 6.30pm) also finished behind Seven News (1.038 million – 6.00pm, 977,000 – 6.30pm) giving Nine’s primary channel an overall share of 20.2 per cent of the five-city metro share.
Seven’s overall share declined from 34 to 32 per cent, while Nine’s total channel share more or less held steady at 28.0 per cent, down from 28.7 per cent.
Ten’s primary channel TV ratings share declined from 13.8 to 11.8 per cent, with Masterchef dropping to 436,000 from 545,000 on Easter Monday. Interestingly, Ten’s all channel share only declined 0.2 to 17.0 per cent.
The ABC was the beneficiary of Ten’s loss improving its primary channel share from 8.5 to 10.3 per cent on the back of its 7.00pm news bulletin (625,000) and 7.30 report (488,000).
SBS also improved registering 5.0 and 8.7 per cent respectively for its main channel and all channel share from 4.2 and 7.5 per cent on Easter Monday.
