10’s new gameshow (ably led by comic Andy Lee) The Cube debuted to a promising 567,000 last night.
The Cube’s launch also did enough to penetrate the usually impenetrable MAFS that dipped below 900,000, posting 891,000 according to OzTAM metro numbers.
Regardless, Nine easily won the night with 33.1 per cent of all of last night’s eyeballs (all channels). Seven just nabbed second and 21.8 per cent, 10 was hot on its heels and 19.8 per cent, the ABC did 16.6 per cent and SBS pulled 8.8 per cent.
For breakfast, Sunrise (232,000) saw off Today (205,000)
