The UK broadcast of the much-hyped Madonna episode of Glee on E4 yesterday night was seen by a total audience of around 1.9 million, early figures suggest.
The episode brought in an impressive 1.42m (5.7%) to E4 in the 9pm hour, helping the channel beat parent station Channel 4 in the timeslot.
A further 458k (2.6%) watched the episode an hour later on timeshift station E4+1. E4's combined primetime share last night was 3.8%, level with Five.
The audience for Glee was on par with the figures for its record return a week earlier, according to ratings data supplied by Attentional.
