ICYMI, MasterChef has been a huge success for Channel 10 in 2020 and on Monday night 2.001m viewers nationally tuned in to watch Emelia win the trophy – up 101% from the winner announcement last year (Source: OzTam Metro & Regional Total People).
Personally, I am a huge fan of the show but for the past few years haven’t tuned in to many episodes. I have been wholeheartedly committed this year though, and believe the success is due to some smart moves by the network but also the effect COVID has had on viewership and demand for light hearted entertainment.
