Hang on, is Seven saying that this show is actually a significant news event too? I know Seven News’ brand is already in the bin, but imagine producing a Bert Newton 20 to 1 countdown style programme. Desperate or what? ---

Each state is obviously going to have a different top 10? A few national/world stories but then their own local stories. ---

But the comparison would more likely be what Seven’s 6.30 news gets to what TT would get. I think TT would rate lower than what the current set up does - it used to in the past which is a big part of why the change was made. ---
