As the bushfire emergency picks up, Seven News (1st – 1,209,000) extends to include Today Tonight (3rd – 1,075,000) and offers an hour long update as it extends across the east coast. After that there’s not a lot that’s new (or interesting) to garner people’s attention, though Ch7’s evening of Motorway Patrol (5th – 904,000), Serious Crash Unit (8th – 828,000) and Revenge – Special (14th – 634,000) help it to a big win.
