David,
Any sense of how Planet America is going – compared to last year – given the change of broadcast night and switch to the primary channel?
Not something I have looked at specifically but 135k last night will be well ahead of ABC News numbers.
.The 30 min version is not the same as the 45 min one still being shown on Friday on ABC News 24 and ABC 1 therefore it hasn’t ‘switched nights’.
Fireside Chat screening on Friday is a different beast. The core program has switched nights and channels.
Excellent reporting from 730
Ratings may be delayed tomorrow, OzTAM is moving office.
