The Glenn Dyer breakdown: The Voice is on Nine, thus Nine wins, easily. End of story.

Interesting The Voice slipped 400,000 viewers from Monday night last night, which was the second of the battle rounds. The fall was mostly in metro markets: around 350,000 vanished last night, while around 60,000 regional viewers disappeared.

Nine’s The Block averaged 1.259 million was OK, but down 140,000 from Monday night.

I know you can’t wait, but there are five more sleeps before disinterment of The Price is Right on the Seven Network happens. That’s at 5pm next Monday, with Deal Or No Deal at 5.30pm. The aim, to try and boost audiences ahead of the Seven News at 6pm, especially in Sydney and Melbourne where Seven is being beaten easily most nights by Nine.

Tonight: Randling, the new Andrew Denton program on ABC 1. Laid returns at 8.30pm. Australia’s Got Talent and Revenge on Seven. The Biggest Loser on Ten. Nine has The Block and Celebrity Apprentice
