It’s all State Of Origin Rugby League Qld v NSW 3rd Game (Match: 1st – 2,626,000; Post-Match: 2nd – 2,328,000; Pre-Match: 3rd – 1,568,000), and rightly so with one of the most hotly contested games in a long time – and resulting in the highest rating Origin game on TV ever!
MasterChef Australia (6th – 1,255,000) still strongly against the football, and Offspring (11th – 894,000) did well also, considering. For the first of the finals, Australia’s Got Talent (13th – 805,000) didn’t deliver enough viewers, though scary to think that a big part of it’s key demo was watching Rugby League as well.

Interested to know how Ten Late News is doing in the ratings?
It’s doing OK, but not great. For example, last night it rated 165,000 (51st for the day).
Thank you for the response. Good to have Late News back, love the new format etc but I think Sandra would have owned the new format and rated much better.
