Sunday night redux — Nine wins, Seven loses, Ten does OK, the ABC weak.

Seven loses despite having a 322,000 lead in the 6pm to 7pm news battle with Nine, and a reasonable 1.01 million audience for Big Brother. 

Seven News averaged 1.79 million. Nine News, 1.37 million, but The Voice averaged 1.205 million and 60 Minutes 912,000 and that’s why Nine won easily and Seven was left well behind, again. 

Masterchef Australia won the non-news battle (again) with 1.28 million. Masterchef topped all the demos and The Voice and Big Brother were left to scrap for second and third. Nearly 3.3 million people watched the trio which was down around 100,000 from a week ago but is still a very big audience these days.

In the morning, Insiders from 9am to 10am, 651,000. Sports Sunday on Nine saw its audience slump from 222,000 a week ago to 126,000 yesterday.

In the regions, Seven News, 603,000, Nine News, 368,000, 7pm ABC News, 356,000, The Voice, 339,000, Big Brother, 311,000.
