Just over 700,000 Australians tuned in to watch the 2009 ARIA
Awards - one of the worst results in years.
The audience was about 400,000 down on last year's ceremony, which
scored 1.09 million viewers.
The awards moved from Network Ten, to the Nine Network this year,
and were on a Thursday, as opposed to Sunday.
They were hosted by actors Kate Ritchie and Gyton Grantley, with
electro pop outfit Empire of the Sun scoring the most
trophies.
The event came in at No 16 on the most watched shows of the night -
Seven's news was first with more than 1.2 million viewers.
