News. You better like it this Summer because you’re getting a lot – A LOT – of it. Channel 7 owned the night soundly, with it’s 6-7pm line up triumphing and Under the Hammer and a Criminal Minds repeat all in the top 6. Modern Family, even in repeats still delivers well, and new eps of Raising Hope offer just that for Channel 10. Eleven cannot come quick enough. QI dropped nearly half it’s audience as it ended and The Trophy Room premiered. Read my thoughts on it’s first ep here. Sunrise is still killing Today, and even Ch7’s afternoon “we can do an hour like you can” News is beating Ch9’s offering. Lots of work to do for Gyngell’s crew in 2011.
