      1. I was thinking OZTAM didn’t supply the information… if it was that bad….
        It really isn’t rating that well at all… I think the channel needs rebranding and needs a name change

  1. ABC doesn’t offer widely appealing content during the hour between 6 & 7 PM on weeknights and this drags its share down. As a result I think ABC performance is better than the simple share number suggests. If ABC opted to devote more resources to this early evening hour it could get a higher overall result.
