Great numbers again for The 7pm Project, and Channel 10’s 7:30/8pm double of Modern Family & Raising Hope. Shame it doesn’t convert beyond 8:30pm. Not the best figures for the premiere of High Road Low Road though – perhaps Tom Williams is overexposed, or we’re sick of travel shows no matter what the twist? Just as The Trophy Room is starting to hit it’s stride on ABC1, the ratings for it’s ep last night suggest not. At least it beat Channel 7’s so-called coverage of the Brisbane International Tennis (which like all “good” local sports coverage, doesn’t start in SEQ until 10:30pm – no wonder viewers don’t care).
