can we attribute the big Twenty/20 ratings win to people wanting some escapism, or the fact that Australia finally won a game this season? As the flood coverage started to slow, so did people’s interest in seeing it (generally). Interesting to note that with people registering that both Mel & Kochie were back on Sunrise that it beat the Today Show for the first time this week. Are breakfast television viewers that fickle? Will the success of Channel Nine be maintained leading into the start of the ratings season in a week’s time? Too many questions, not enough answers…
