Married At First Sight topped the most watched list with 1.59 million and that was the night — a big win for Nine. The network’s success with MAFS is a far cry from the problems over on Today however — Friday saw another metro near low audience of Karl Stefanovic’s second coming — 174,000 and the lowest national audience, 271,000.

In the morning, Insiders drew in 583,000 nationally, the lowest so far of David Speers’ reign. 

In regional markets it was Seven News with 471,000, MAFS with 398,000, 7pm ABC News with 351,000, Koala Rescue with 329,000, then Nine News and the Spicks and Specks Special both with 303,000.
