  1. I’ve figured out that in network shares, Nine still needs to make up 37% to win back the year. All Nine needs is for The Voice and State of Origin to run almost every week until the end of the year. They wish.

  2. Its a good win for Nine and deservingly so with those figures but it will be their last until the next time State of Origin airs. The fact it was only a couple of a % in the end proves Nine are running short of content again. This week will be the week that shows how weak their schedule is. Also Eurovision should make things interesting tonight. It has been polling really well so far and i must say its a joy to watch. I love Sweden and thanks to TV Tonight i can visit here and not find out any results. I will be recording Downton Abbey tonight so i can watch Eurovision. I have blocked Facebook and Twitter on my internet settings for today only as i don’t want to know who wins until i watch it. Its hard and yes i am having social network withdrawals but i have done it before and so will do it again.
