The Noughties will end with variety television closing a chapter after Rove bid his own show farewell last week. But Seven took the night and Week 47 of ratings.
Week 45 saw Seven launch its new digital channel, and the Melbourne Cup delivering it their biggest audience all year. And there were celebrations in Community Television.
With the passing of Don Lane, Nine's audience again sent a message that it loves variety television, while Seven's announcement of 7TWO saw it lose another week to Nine/GO!
Without any events or boosts from digital channels, Channel Seven won the ratings week -thanks largely to its factual slate underpinning consistent programming.
