Absolutely fantastic start for The Voice, leaving CH7 way behind.

These are from the 5 mainland capitals which have a total population of 15 million people.The VoiceSunday- 2,177,000Monday- 2,541,000 (highest rating show of the year so far)Tuesday- 2,372,000Australia's Got TalentMonday- 1,196,000Tuesday- 980,000Wednesday- 1,392,000

I wonder how Masterchef will do this year.

So far for Masterchef-Season 1Series Premiere- 1,428,000Winner Announced- 3,745,000Season 2Series Premiere- 1,695,000Winner Announced- 3,962,000Season 3Series Premiere- 1,569,000Winner Announced- 2,740,000We'll probably see another drop off this season. The launch date for the season should be announced on Monday. It's expected to start in early May.

The drop-off last year was because of that stupid Renovators show that cut the final into two. I agree that it'll drop though, but not by as much.

Well that's mainly due to the amazing Delta Goodrem. She's done a great promotion and her beautiful new single is out as well.

Its on 3 nights a week?

[DeeCee]

The Voice actually went even higher in the ratings on Sunday night with an average of 2.7million viewers across the 5 mainland capital cities.http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2012/04/the-voice-powers-to-2-7m.html5 city metro plus 4 major regional markets for last week.http://www.thinktv.com.au/SiteMedia/w3svc371/Uploads/Documents/Weekly%20Ratings%20Report%20-Week%2016%202012.pdf

Wow, that's bigger than the Masterchef finale.

[DeeCee]

Masterchef dropped further this year. 1.36 million viewers for the Sunday night premiere.http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2012/05/masterchef-serves-up-first-ratings-as-nine-wins-sunday.html

A new drama, Tricky Business, starts on Channel 9 at 9:30 Monday night after The Voice. I'll check it out because its set and filmed in Wollongong.

Its actually a really good show.I normally steer clear of Aussie shows, but this is one of the rare few that is actually good.

Across the 5 mainland capital cities Game 1 of the 2012 State of Origin between NSW and Queensland had it's highest ever ratings.

what European TV-series (besides Inspector Rex) have been aired in Australia?

[DeeCee]

By European I assume you mean non UK Europe. For overseas content the UK is second to the USA in terms of what's on Aussie TV. Keep in mind the following "The ACS requires all commercial free-to-air television licensees to broadcast an annual minimum transmission quota of 55 per cent Australian programming between 6am and midnight. In addition there are specific minimum annual sub-quotas for Australian (adult) drama, documentary and children’s programs."SBS is the only network that has foreign language shows. They are always subtitled and never dubbed. Shows have included The Killing,Unit 1(Denmark), Inspector Montalbano, Octopus(Italy), Kurt Wallander(Sweden). There have been many others as well. http://www.sbs.com.au/television

Game 2 of the State of Origin series topped the ratings last night in the 5 mainland capitals with 2.495 million viewers.http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2012/06/2-47m-as-blues-and-origin-rule-wednesday.htmlFrom Mediaweekaus twitter:TV ratings Update #Origin2 Metro 2,495,000 (Best G2 ever - G1 2012 2.51m) Regional 1,331,000 Total 3,826,000TV ratings Update #Origin2 Nine/WIN/NBN shares (6pm-midnight) Syd 51.6% Bri 51.5% Qld 48.9% NthNSW 49.2% SthNSW 45.8%
