News and current affairs favoured over drama on Sunday night
Seven News and Sunday Night were the top two shows last night beating Underbelly and Wild Boys which lead last week.
The 6pm bulletin on the evening of the tenth anniversary of September 11, lead the charge with 1.56 million according to preliminary metro ratings from OzTam.
It was followed by Sunday Night with 1.504 million.
Nine’s Underbelly: Razor pulled 1.461 million in third spot, down from 1.55 last week.
I’m afraid Wild Boys is just a western with Australian accents. And Underbelly: Razor is starting to become tedious. Still, apart from a bit of sport on Foxtel, there’s not much else around on a Sunday night.
Sunday was dead viewing wise. Got my DVD of Kolchack: The Night Stalker out.
yeah…Wild Boys is like home and away minus panel vans and Razor is like a violent version of the Sullivans with better sex and violence. People are tuning into the news to she if Gillard has resigned yet. Clearly we need Jack Bower back.
Wow. Half a million for the Rugby World Cup Wallabies match…in the middle of a Sunday afternoon when it was also being screened, ad free, on Fox Sports in homes, pubs, clubs.
It would appear the brilliant young stars of the Wallabies have caught the imagination of the sporting public.
But quite a coup for Nine for a Sunday afternoon!
Now, if only the referees can put their whistles in their pockets a bit more…and leave them there!
