  1. Full credit to Sunrise and TMS for withstanding the torrent of Today fuelled Olympics audience boosts. Audiences clearly and consistently overwhelmingly prefer waking up with Seven and I am not sure how Nine combats that?

    Similarly in primetime it’s the reverse, with Nine dominating. The Voice put up a considerable fight but when I look at the Seven vs Nine BVOD ratings Seven is in strife. The Block obliterated The Voice by a 2:1 ratio almost in BVOD ratings and that’s where the future is at not linear tv. Let’s see how Made in Bondi did tonight.
