The Block Scores Leads Weekend Overnight Ratings for Nine
Ever since the premiere of its 15th season on Nine, The Block has consistently topped the charts on the free to air overnight ratings. It’s no surprise that it’s recognised as Australia’s most successful reality program! The latest season sees five ambitious couples renovating the neglected Oslo Hotel in St Kilda for the chance to walk away with the $100,000 prize money — not to mention the profit made once the apartments go under the hammer at a public auction this year.
From last week’s 851,000 viewership, the hit reality show has now gone up all the way to 1,094,000 viewers — finally hitting the one million mark and beyond. Based on this, it seems as though the viewership will continue to grow day by day as the season progresses. This spells good news for Nine, the network that has just wrapped up another successful run of the hit reality show The Voice Australia and Australian Ninja Warrior. The Block has also helped Nine in gaining a huge lead over last night’s ratings facing off with other Seven’s Australia’s Got Talent and Ten’s Australian Survivor, plus 9Gem’s coverage of this year’s Mid Year Ashes.
