GO! became the good news in August as bad news took over with apologies from Seven, and TEN axing Kyle from Australian Idol and newlyweds became Australia's Perfect Couple.
In April Susan Boyle was catapulted to stardom, it was game on in game shows, Ice TV beat Nine, the High Court ruled against Seven, and Talia won Dance.
The Noughties will end with variety television closing a chapter after Rove bid his own show farewell last week. But Seven took the night and Week 47 of ratings.
Audiences are slipping across the board as we limp to the ratings finish line. But they are hanging on for the Rafter birth, helping Seven to take out another week.
Week 45 saw Seven launch its new digital channel, and the Melbourne Cup delivering it their biggest audience all year. And there were celebrations in Community Television.
With the passing of Don Lane, Nine's audience again sent a message that it loves variety television, while Seven's announcement of 7TWO saw it lose another week to Nine/GO!
