Seven’s night as My Kitchen Rules, the 6pm news and Downton Abbey did the job last night in metro and regional markets. MKR looked very Masterchef Australia in an outside broadcast.

More a case of “I’m a dud get me off air” than I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.

Glenn Dyer's TV ratings: Nine's ratings continue to slide

Seven’s night again as Nine’s ratings slid badly to the point where in the all important main channels, the ABC ended up second behind Seven and ahead of Nine and Ten. Nine was second in total people, with the ABC third and Ten fourth, but that wasn’t the true picture of last night. In the […]

Glenn Dyer's TV ratings: Seven continues to dominate

Seven’s week again, and the network is setting itself up to keep on winning well into May as My Kitchen Rules meanders to the end of yet another season.

Glenn Dyer's TV ratings: Footy returns
