The battle of the Sunday current affairs shows far from resolved with Sunday Night (1st – 1,378,000) leading a 90 minute 60 Minutes (3rd – 1,302,000), both with big interviews. The cricket again delivers strongly pre-6pm Second Test – Australia v South Africa Session 2 (5th – 1,135,000) and Modern Family (7:30pm 9th – 785,000; 8pm 10th – 773,000) continues to be a success for Channel 10. Homeland (14th – 711,000) up marginally on previous weeks and improving in the ratings as the weeks progress (a smart idea by Ch10 to continue it to Christmas).
