ABC1 recorded its best Monday night result of 2013 last night as Australian Story recorded its best result this year. And The Bachelor held its audience on its second night for Network Ten and news, current affairs and The X Factor dominated the night. The public broadcaster had a 16.8 per cent share thanks to a season's best for Australian Story (999,000) as it concluded its two-part special about Greg Norman. The post-election wash-up also pushed ABC News and 7.30 above one million metro viewers (1.02m and 1.033m respectively). It was 7.30"s best result for the year behind the 1.132m the program attracted the June evening of the final ALP leadership spill. And Q&A recorded its fourth audience of more than 700,000 this year in the election aftermath. Seven won the night in all people with a 21.9 per cent metro share ahead of Nine's 19.3 per cent and Ten's 10.7 per cent. Nine won in Melbourne and Brisbane. Nine News was the highest-rating program of the evening with 1.36m, including a 138,000 gap on Seven News in Melbourne and a 126,000 gap in Sydney. Seven News averaged 1.256m viewers. The X Factor was down but held above 1.3 million viewers, which appears to be its low base with rises beyond 1.5 million. The US drama Mr Selfridge fell 70,000 on last Monday but still banked a respectable late night 713,000 for Seven. For Nine, Big Brother captured 851,000 viewers, its lowest Monday for the season, while The Amazing 80s had 702,000 viewers. The southern states also screened Footy Classified, which averaged 246,000 viewers in Melbourne. On Ten, The Project was top with 644,000 viewers while Wanted had another 450,000 viewers.
