I actually watched the block…well 2nd screen….the lady judge…Oh the kitchen needs 2 dish washers…What?….then most of 60 Minutes (both because I was too lazy to change the channel) and then Vera…
Goes to show 10 should’ve spread pilot week out over the month
My guess for Davis Cup ratings would be 2 men and a Dog
..plus two adults and a cat. Actually the third and fourth sets were quite exciting. Well done, Alex De Minaur.
I’m guessing Sports Tonight won’t be back next year. I’m sure its not an expensive show to make because it’s probably rehashed footage of the sports segment shown during the week and that day on the 5 PM news but those ratings are just too low.
Any ratings for the Davis Cup?
