Matildas gives Network Ten a very rare ratings win, while My Mum, Your Dad fails for Nine

Viewers flocked to Channel 10 to watch the Matildas on Wednesday night, giving the ratings-poor broadcaster a rare top ten spot in prime time.

The Australian soccer champions’ Olympic qualifier against Chinese Taipei was the eighth most-watched program of the evening, reaching an impressive 456,000 viewers in the Metro TV ratings.

The Amazing Race: Celebrity Edition was another strong ratings success for Ten on Wednesday.

The reality travel competition, hosted by Beau Ryan, attracted 328,000 viewers in metropolitan areas.

The news wasn’t so good for Channel Nine as the second series of dating show My Mum, Your Dad continued to lose viewership.
