Just another Monday night and despite another very solid night, The Block Glasshouse wasn’t as dominant as the figures would suggest. It had 2.133 million national/ 1.507 million metro/ 625,000 regional viewers. With that sized audience, you would have thought Nine won the night by a mile — it didn’t. It certainly had a good win in the metro main channels, but Seven got up overall thanks to solid figures for its digital channels. Ten was again a weak fourth behind the ABC and its usual hours and hours of news and current affairs.

In regional markets, there was another split in the audience with Seven winning overall and in the main channels by narrow margins. Ten was fourth, the ABC was third. Two hours and 20 minutes of The Amazing Race (two episodes) from 8.40pm to 11pm averaged 835,000 metro and regional viewers. Big Brother which also started at 8.40pm averaged 1.091 million/ 817,000 metro/ 274,000 regional viewers until 10.10pm. That meant The Amazing Race dominated from around 10pm onwards, helping keep Seven competitive in the metros and in front in the regions. Big Brother recovered viewers from its surprise slump on Sunday night. Earlier in the night The X Factor’s results episode did ok in the metros, but topped the regions with 1.780 million national/ 1.1142 million metro/ 638,000 regional viewers, just topping The Block Glasshouse in the regions.

In the morning, Today started the week with 326,000 viewers in metro markets — one of its best Monday figures this year. The question now is did those extra viewers stay with Today this morning? Unfortunately for Today, Sunrise’s audience started the week on 393,000 metro viewers. Seven News may have won the metros, but in Sydney it lost by a large 109,000 viewers to Nine News which won Melbourne by a smaller 51,000 and Brisbane by 26,000.
