Seven’s My Kitchen Rules was the most watched prime-time event on television in 2014 and the AFL grand final the most watched sports event.

“We’ve made more local shows this year than ever before and the audiences have demonstrated they love it,” commented Seven director of production Brad Lyons.

“My Kitchen Rules is the number one program of the year and House Rules continues to build as the biggest new franchise.”

Nine director of television Michael Healy stated the result means Nine is the “most watched network with everyone under 65”.

“It is proof our programming resonates with our target audience and that’s what we all work so hard to achieve,” Healy stated.

Ten chief executive officer Hamish McLennan, meanwhile, stated Ten’s strategy of focusing on the 25-54 demographic and event TV, including premium live sport, was “fully implemented from May this year”.

“That strategy, plus a sharper focus on promotions and marketing, is attracting more viewers and creating more consistent results,” McLennan commented.
