Gogglebox Wins Thursday Evening Ratings on Free to Air
Hailed as the Most Popular Entertainment program at the 61st TV WEEK Logie Awards, Gogglebox Australia returned with its milestone tenth season earlier this month on Foxtel’s Lifestyle Channel and on Network Ten. This season will see many of our Goggleboxers reaching personal milestones of their own like having a baby and being homeowners for the first time. Viewers will also get to see what these fan-favourite couch critics make of hot shows including The Bachelor Australia, Australia’s Got Talent, Australian Survivor, The Masked Singer, or the new season of Love It or List It Australia.
Ever since its premiere last August 15th that only earned 704,000 viewer ratings, Gogglebox has been slowly working its way to break in the top 10 and top 5 of overnight ratings on free to air. Last night was a big night, however, given that it was the show’s season finale. It garnered 794,000 viewers across the 5 city metro, which is by far one of the biggest numbers that the show has earned this season. Not so far behind is another Network Ten hit reality show, The Bachelorette Australia, which saw about 694,000 viewers.
