The night was light on, and the ratings reflect that. Still, in the midst of repeats some new programming as featured – like Border Patrol, AWW Christmas Special & The Enforcers. It was pretty lean, however. Locally (BNE) The Great South East performed well offering a great lead into Channel 7’s News – Sunday, which topped the night locally & nationally.
