393K for a 7.30 slot? 7 are really worried.
Unfortunately, bits of Australia Talks were discussed on News Breakfast, and I was dismayed by the slant imposed on the statistics. Shows that statistics can be used to promote any view if presented in a particular way.
I was on SBS ….the Olivia Colman…WDYTYA….was excellent….
I will have to catch Australia Talks on iview.
I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of humour the stats were provided with. Thought that Australia Talks had a strong Project vibe, so interesting that they decided to put it up against one of 10’s strongest shows.
Zumbo – the show with the self fulfilling title I thought after the lame series one it should have been marked Do Not Resucitate…
I think the rise in Monday’s is mainly due to the cash call on Today.
Meant to be a reply to clem_official
I think Zumbo needs a third host, a comedian like Ed Kavale or Anne Edminson. It needs a bit of humour a little like British Bake Off has Noel Fielding,I’m not sure who but someone a little more looser, maybe Jane Kennedy or Marty Sheargold. Some creative casting would make it great.
I agree. Even someone like Denise Scott would be a good fit
Was so annoyed that is was a non-elimination round on TARA last night, I was wanting the Instagram account holders to leave.
Isn’t that their second lucky escape, I concur, grrrr not happy!
Me too. Finally they come last, and yet we are still not rid of them. Good to see some karma come their way.
205k is good for Today, only 69k behind Sunrise.
To me it highlights Deb valued and requires a solid male co-anchor (Karl) and Georgie wasn’t suited for breakfast tv.
The show already feels lighter without Georgie. Now to do something about the increasingly repetitive nature of segments on the show. Clint Stanaway must be lured to Sydney to present sport. No phoning it in from Melb anymore
