"neighbours" became eleven's most-watched show and the third highest rating show on digital multichannels that night. programming chief, david mott stated "last night's strong result for "neighbours" already suggests the audience will follow the folks from ramsay street to their brand new neighbourhood on eleven." on 24 january 2011, "neighbours" achieved 330,000 viewers and three days later 355,000 viewers tuned in, becoming the show's highest rating yet on eleven at the time. the show had more viewers than the "ten evening news" in the 16–39 and 18–49 demographic. on 13 june 2011, "neighbours" was watched by 455,000 viewers, making it the highest rating show on digital multichannels that night and breaking its previous ratings record on the channel. on 27 may 2013, episode 6651 of "neighbours" was watched by an audience of 405,000 viewers, which was the highest rating the series had achieved in nearly two years.
