All the SBS docos were repeats, and the ‘Drain the Titanic’ one had been on last week so a poor result could be expected.
New series of Major Crimes on GEM, old faithful Border Security.
How rude and disrespectful!
The Sydney crowd booing Billy Slater!
Seven must surely plead with the AFL every year to move the AFL Grand Final to the evening.
Why, they already get 2,600,000 when its on during the daytime. If they can’t make money with that audience, playing at night won’t help much
You’ve written Nine network won Sunday with 47.6% then Nine 23.2%.
Thanks, fixed.
There was little else to watch on free to air !
