“We are a national news service. There are only two markets we don’t win — Sydney, where, depending on the week we’re about 20,000 or 30,000 (average audience number) behind Nine, and Newcastle … where we don’t have a news service, but we’re thinking about launching one. But in every other market in Australia, Seven News is the dominant brand.”

Seems a bit “arrogant”. I wouldn’t say the Seven was the dominant news service in Melbourne or Brisbane or perhaps the Gold Coast.

Looking at the first 6 months of this year Seven is ahead in Melbourne by 3,000 and Brisbane by 2,000. In Brisbane Nine has won more survey weeks including the last.
