The Voice delivers a crushing win for Nine

The Glenn Dyer breakdown: The Voice came back and gave Nine another win. Ten was very, very weak, well beaten for third by the ABC’s usual news and current affairs line up.

Australia’s Got Talent was crushed by The Voice and only averaged 966,000 viewers in the five metro markets.

Nine wasn’t as popular in regional areas or in Adelaide or Perth, especially The Block. The Voice though did very, very well across the country with over 3.4 million viewers nationally.

Monday night’s NRL game on Pay TV (Newcastle v Penrith) averaged 291,000 people, higher than the NRL and AFL games on Sunday on pay TV (263,000 was the highest for the Sydney v Hawthorn AFL game).

Tonight: The Voice on Nine, two hours from 8pm, meaning a late 10pm finish. The Block at 7pm. Seven has Australia’s Got Talent and then Packed to the Rafters, with a new US series called Missing starting at 9.30pm. Ten has NCIS, The Biggest Loser and Bondi Vet. SBS has Dateline after Insight at 8.30pm. The final of Country Town Rescue is on ABC 1 at 8pm.
