  1. Channel 10 why oh why did you dump the new episode of SVU for a repeat of The Cheap Seats…. any wonder quality scripted drama, like SVU, can’t get a foot hold anymore, you keep dumping it and then expect fans to stay with you !

  2. Hey David, is this nine’s fifth win of the week or fourth? I thought seven won Sunday? Normally seven finishes the week strong with the AFL but election coverage could spoil their party delivering the week to nine? Am also surprised (similar to earlier comments made by others) that 10 didn’t skip the election altogether and run an NCIS marathon or something. 10 have nothing to lose, right?

  3. How come The Front Bar won it’s slot if the NRL actually rated higher. I admit I don’t know what time TFB airs in Melbourne (where it is popular) but assume it is on the same time as the rugby.

    1. It is increasingly tricky to compare slots as very few are head to head these days, so it is a broad view. But NRL starts 7:30 (which I deemed a MasterChef win), Front Bar is 8:30 in AFL states so it was the highest show to start from that point. I mean even MasterChef trails over 8:30 too, so you can see how tricky.

    1. I’ve popped in and out ,I have to say either I’m a bit thick but I can’t find much information on the swimming events each day ,I’ve looked up the Adelaide Swimming website and I can’t seem to find any info at all.
