I fully agree with you. At the end of the day, it’s about advertising dollars, which pays all the bills. No point bragging about being a ratings winner or have the most Logie nominees/winners (I am looking at you Nine and TEN!).
But the question is - Is Nine still No. 1 in advertising revenue?
Very broad when they aren’t leading in Sydney and Melbourne. To be fair though, their leads in Adelaide and Perth are uncontested and they easily win with all of their daytime bulletins.
I’m actually surprised that the press release didn’t say: No. 1 Current Affairs- Today Tonight
