  1. Wowee you were spot on David (and another reader whose name escapes me) about the Newsreader final. What a ripper of an episode to end an exceptional second season.

  3. Impressive performance from nine. Nine a little unlucky to not quite win last week with Australia’s worst rugby World Cup performance and the ODI cricket has not been good for Australia thus far. From memory, nine/stan broadcast deal expires next year….i am guessing it has been quite decent for Stan but not good for 9 FTA. Perhaps Foxtel put a cheeky bid in and 9 let it go…..

  4. I am shocked that commenters here can be so blasé about the lives of two innocent women whose lives were destroyed by incompetence and bias. Not scripted TV shows, real peoples lives.

  5. I didn’t know much about the Kathleen Folbigg story except for the fact that she was released due to DNA. As a result Dad and I enjoyed the special and I thought the way they left it with Kathleen getting her hair cut powerful.

  7. What an expensive flop that Spotlight special with Kathleen Folbigg turned out to be. Seven should have screened it earlier than this, closer to when she was actually released from prison. It was also hardly promoted so they only have themselves to blame.

    1. I could not get away from promos for that special – it was mentioned in every add break and extensively showcased during their news programs. The promo overkill is what put me off watching.

        1. Your argument doesn’t make sense “So only prompted if you’re watching Seven? Hence why no one else never watched it I suppose”.

          How else do you think viewers gain awareness of content? On an opposing network? 60 Minutes might be leading but 1- it’s on a different time and 2- it isn’t drawing the same viewership as it once did.

          1. My understanding is that social media, billboards, radio, news media stories and other forms of communication are also used along with word of mouth , to promote television programs with the aim of attracting an audience
