  1. The SBS section was funny. When I saw Secret SBS World News I was wondering if you made a mistake so reread to make sure and then saw the rest.

  2. HYBPA great again – A little let down by the return of Celebrity Apprentice. I’m wondering if Nine are truly happy with the numbers. In comparison with rivals it is holding up. I’m a little perplexed why they are burning new Weakest Link episodes @9pm on Tuesdays though, seems like an odd choice.

  3. WIN must be so excited by their mention on HYBPA, not. The claim “Big announcement from WIN TV this week, what was it? No longer airing local news? Yeah”. Not quite correct.

    Realise WIN has dumped 10 to return to the 9 camp. A bit of slinging off by 10?

  4. HYBPA shows what happens when you leave the show in the same timeslot/day. The audience builds. It’s the same with Gogglebox. I guess 10 has learned from how they destroyed NCIS by moving it everywhere and mixing in random repeat seasons.
