    Social media barrage against Seven’s Luke Darcy (trending nationally) tonight, commentating his son Sam playing (and well)… Usually a no-no in media land! Albeit reduced back to expert commentator rather then caller, like his old Channel Ten days. Oddly The West Australian ran an article about it 24hrs ago. He’s also a star of The House of Wellness and hosted the Tokyo Olympics.

  2. Villiers-Bretonneux Dawn Service 225,000 ABC, 190,000 on Nine, 111,000 on Seven. Perhaps Seven would hold a few more viewers (like us) if they dropped the hideous bright red 7News logo and other superfluous graffiti they seem necessary on everything, even the Sydney Town Hall Concert from 4-4:30pm. Speaking of which, did they actually have an audio operator?

  3. I think 9 would be very happy abut NRL beating AFL on a Thursday Night given that there are no Victorian teams in last night’s AFL match. I think that in Melbourne market it did reasonably well – guess about 65k on the main channel. The one-sided AFL match between GWS-Lions haven’t helped Seven’s shares, but I assume that some Melbourne viewers don’t care about the AFL match in Canberra.
