The Easter long weekend saw little change among viewing for the main TV channels’ news and current affairs programs last night, with Seven seeing a rise in audience figures compared to the previous Monday.

Seven News and Today Tonight were the most-watched shows with over 1.4m and 1.37m viewers respectively, according to preliminary overnight OzTam data for the main metro markets.

Among the younger 16-39 and 18-49 demographics, Nine’s Two and Half Men and The Big Bang Theory also remained on top, despite the broadcast of repeat episodes.

I got one, so what about Sonia?
A state funeral is the least we in Sydney should offer this remarkable woman.
After all,she wore a dress in the early seventies that no other women in their right mind would wear. A cut to the thigh any butcher would be proud off.
Bring it on Sonia, we will miss you.
