Younger viewers prefer dating show over social experiment. MKR and Four Corners lead Monday slots.
If you’re a viewer aged 16-39 you are far more likely to be watching Love Island than Big Brother… or possibly you’re doing both. Or none?
Love Island comfortably topped all viewing in that demo on Monday with the bulk of them on BVOD (Nine strategically releases episodes at 10am AEDT daily on 9Now which add to their total) while BB was fourth. Purely in linear numbers Big Brother wins that match, but that’s not how numbers are finalised.
Meanwhile it was My Kitchen Rules which thrashed them all, in Total People climbing to 1.21m viewers on Monday well in front of the competition, 7:30 (881,000), Travel Guides (788,000), Australian Story (609,000) and Big Brother at 431,000.
Later Four Corners drew 693,000 then Media Watch (645,000), Love Island (496,000), The Hunting Party (324,000 / TBA) and Sam Pang Tonight (311,000).
Seven News was #1 at 1.38m then Home & Away winning its slot at 990,000 and The Chase (669,000).
Nine News drew 1.17m then A Current Affair (969,000) and Tipping Point (763,000). Race to the Melbourne Cup is TBA.
ABC News pulled 953,000 then Planet America strong at 599,000 and Hard Quiz (455,000).
Millionaire Hot Seat drew 317,000 then 10 News drew 299,000 / 184,000 then Deal or No Deal (199,000) and 10 Late News (170,000).
SBS World News was 246,000 / 160,000 then Mastermind, 24 Hours in Emergency, Big Fat Quiz and 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown are TBA.
