Free to Air TV Ratings Wednesday July 18, 2012

Another night, another win for Masterchef – the most watched show of the night by far. AGT on Seven reached 1.1 million – the extra viewers no doubt “Beliebers”. Mrs Browns Boys also did really well for Seven. Back to Ten, and the movie Iron Man 2 helped lift the channel to a 20% share – 7% above Nine – again dragged down into ratings oblivion by The Voice US. Tricky Business – late on Nine managed just 291,000 – which now means more people are watching Neighbours on ELEVEN than Tricky Business on Nine. Chances of renewal? Sorry to say – but it’s a big zero.
