Thought sbs’s the family would be on the list.
No doubt Nine winning the demos is thanks to the 140 or so episodes of Big Bang Theory it played over summer on Nine and GO!
I don’t know what Ch7 pays to broadcast the tennis but it’s definitely worth it. Massive ratings at the start of every year plus it gives a huge boost to every show that ch7 cross-promotes during the broadcast.
