Ouch. A 76K margin between Nine and Seven News in Sydney, it hasn’t been that wide in that market for quite some time I feel, though with Nine having the Olympics it was always going to sweep the east coast this week.
I remember before The Chase Australia began on Seven, the deficit between them and Nine was close to or around 100K, as it also was before Ian Ross was hired by Seven in 2003.
Also good to see that the margin between Seven and Nine News in Perth is a reasonable 30K, though with the former still on top. Wasn’t very long ago the margin was often 100K in Seven’s favour.
