It’s the beginning of the Oprahgasm, and Channel 10 are making the most of it. Airing The Oprah Winfrey Show: Sound Of Music Reunion helped them crush the 7:30pm opposition, but they still came third overall. It’s the summer of News with everyone looking to hear what’s happening with the Big O (and again Channel 9 suffered from a poor showing with the cricket providing no real lead into their 6pm News service). Again good to see the ratings for The 7pm Project firming. Still with the Two and a Half Men fascination though, people? Sheesh. Next week – you must check out Most Shocking: Top 20. It’s car-accident-cannot-turn-away good.
