Ten’s I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here now has a new name — I’m A Celebrity, Viewers Don’t Care.  The finale was beaten by the ABC. The winner’s announcement managed 1.11 million viewers, the lead up, 967,000.  A program average of 1.03 million is hardly inspiring and was nowhere nowhere near enough to push Ten into third. The network managed an overall metro rating of 17.7% to the ABC’s 18.2% and a main channel figure of 13.2% to the ABC’s 14/2%.

Nine won easily with Married averaging 1.74 million and Number one nationally and in the metros. MKR on Seven ended up fourth nationally with 1.40 million — that’s fewer viewers than Seven’s News at 6 pm — 1.55 million and the 6.30pm half with 1.43 million. How the mighty has fallen. Assuredly, it is what awaits Married on Nine in the next year or two. 

In regional areas, Seven News was tops with 575,000, followed by Seven News/TT with 492,000, then Married with 489,000, MKR was fourth with 482,000 and then Home and Away in fifth spot with 442,000.
