This Afternoon

Seven’s The Daily Edition debuted this afternoon, and with it came advertorials in the afternoon.

Wendy Kingston will front a one hour afternoon news service on Nine, aimed at women.

Nine is extending its 4:30pm Nine Afternoon News by one hour from today.

Sarah Wilson was Presenter on the highest rating show in 2009 -but it wasn’t enough to land her on Logie’s shortlist. Who else is out of the running before nominations are even announced?

MasterChef stormed to a mammoth 3.74m in July while other reality contestants wins went unnoticed. The Chaser ended the War, and Nine finally put down THIS afternoon.

The votes are coming in for Packed to the Rafters, TV Burp, True Blood, Dexter, MasterChef, home MADE, Shaun Micallef, Rove McManus, Andrew O’Keefe -but are they for positive or negative categories?

The Nine Network sacked five producers on Friday, including two long-serving senior news producers.

Format, format, format. Aiming for a middle ground between humour and news, so far TEN’s new show ends up missing both.

It’s been three years since TEN won a ratings week, and only the second time since OzTAM began in 2001. Meanwhile Nine comes third in a week with State of Origin.

Another series high for MasterChef as it tops 2.23m -but Nine confidently won the night in audience share.

Mark Ferguson was back behind his news desk today for the 4:30 News, looking very comfortable -dare we say relieved?

Nine axes its new afternoon news and current affairs show admitting “…it was clear the program was struggling to attract a sizeable audience.”
