Return of The Voice Australia takes Nine to #1

Nine has won its second successive Sunday night thanks to the return of The Voice and a return to form at 60 Minutes.

The Voice, produced by Shine Australia in conjunction with Talpa Media Group, was a clear #1 all people and in all key demos with 1.55m with over 450,000 in Sydney and Melbourne. No surprises that it was down year-on-year though – in previous years the launch audiences were 2.15m (2014), 1.85m (2013) and 2.19m (2012).

Jessie J has added some spark to the coaching lineup with Delta Goodrem proving last night that she is a worthy contributor. Both Jessie J and Delta picked two performers for their teams on the show's first night.

Nine's Sunday share of 25.2% was its equal best since the Cricket World Cup earlier this year. Nine's only other bigger Sunday nights this year were for nights with cricket and the two-part House Of Hancock miniseries.

Nine was a winner last night in each east coast capital.
