The last Rove
Rove's decision to surprise everyone with a snap farewell meant it didn't enjoy its best numbers as Seven proved unstoppable.

The last ever episode of Rove signed off with 760,000 viewers.
While it was far from the show’s biggest audience, it was a shock announcement at 9:37pm. If the powers that be chose to give it a big send-off it could have enjoyed a much bigger farewell. But ‘surprise’ was the key word and it managed to avoid most leaks.
But Sunday belonged to Seven with a huge share thanks to The Force, Border Security, Seven News, Bones, Sunday Night and Castle all winning their slots.
Even on the back of the Australian Masters Golf, Nine couldn’t take the evening. 60 Minutes continues to hover around the 1.1m mark -last night 1.07m while the 3 hour edited version of False Witness was just 529,000. At least it did better during the daytime thanks to Tiger Woods & co.
Australian Idol‘s last two singers sat at 924,000 with Electric Dreams dropping to 428,000.
ABC News was best for the public broadcaster while Who Do You Think You Are? loses ground since the end of the Australian episodes.
On digital channels an episode of The Big Bang Theory was best with 274,000 for GO! with Kill Bill pulling 147,000 for 7TWO.
There were big shares for digital channels last night with GO! on 5.3%, 7TWO 3.7%, ABC2 0.9%, ONE 0.8% and SBS TWO 0.2%
Corrected.

This is an opinion piece on Rove. I happen to agree with it.

Disappointing to see it go.
But This is what Ten should do and consider putting on some weekly American Type Talkshow similar to what we had back in the late Don Lanes Time even if it is only once a week better that than losing the viewers to whatever 7 or 9 show at that time of night.
