SC TEN smokes Prime for another week

27Jul09

The Newcastle Ratings, week ending July 25

SC Ten’s highest rating program, ‘Masterchef’ came to its sizzling end, taking out both Top Watched Program 1st & 2nd spots, averaging around the 130,000 viewers. However this wasn’t enough to topple NBN for the week. Meanwhile, Prime has been badly burnt during the Masterchef season and will be hoping that Dancing can revive their flagging fortunes. Getting beaten on a weekly basis by ABC is not a great look.
