  1. How can you compare the two channels ratings? When one channel still isn’t shown Australia wide.

    Go still isn’t shown in some capital cities…. ie Darwin. Still don’t understand why, it is 2010 and they can’t get the TV signal right to show it????

  2. making 3rd channels is not as black&white as it was to make a 2nd channel. a 3rd channel means sacrificing HD simulcasting of the primary channel. for 7&9 that already have a succesful 2nd channel i don’t think 3rds should be a high priority. ten on the other hand really should be looking into it as they have already dumped HD simulcasting and could really use some extra shares points.

  3. Fans of British drama are home on a Saturday night, which is probably why a Touch of Frost and ABC1 did so well. In fact, I think ABC has been catering to this audience in this timeslot for quite some time now.

  4. No surprise there. While Seven and Nine are showing family friendly fare on their main channels the adults who don’t go out on a Saturday night are looking for some adult entertainment.

  5. So primary channels are taking a bit of a hif- expected ofcourse, but I wonder if this will make the networks think twice about introducing a 3 rd channel
