Given how well the Fire Fight concert rated I wonder if 7 will air some sort of encore. Maybe a highlights special?

Record viewing numbers for Foxtel’s ad-free coverage of FIRE FIGHT AUSTRALIA
Foxtel’s historic presentation of the FIRE FIGHT AUSTRALIA bushfire relief concert was a ratings blockbuster for Foxtel on Sunday across FOX8, [V] and on a dedicated 4K Ultra HD channel.
Across the day and night the broadcast reached almost one million Foxtel subscribers (994,000) and propelled FOX8 to its third highest day share ever.
An average of 193,000 tuned into FOX8’s non-stop coverage from 1pm-10.30pm with incredible performances from some of Australia and the world’s biggest acts including Queen + Adam Lambert, Alice Cooper, k.d. lang, 5 Seconds of Summer, Hilltop Hoods, Guy Sebastian, Delta Goodrem, John Farnham and Olivia Newton-John, in front of a packed ANZ Stadium of more than 75,000 people.
Foxtel’s Director of Television, Brian Walsh , said: “Sunday was one of the most significant moments in Australian entertainment history and all of us at Foxtel are very proud to have been part of this landmark event. This was a day that Australia united and supported each other, saluted the heroes, remembered the fallen and began the rebuild – and the results are extraordinary.
‘We’d like to thank our friends at TEG Dainty, TEG Live and Seven for being such generous and collaborative partners, as well as the amazing 22 music artists who gave their all to be part of the incredible event.”
Foxtel’s coverage featured hosts Peter Stefanovic and Laura Jayes , Deborah Hutton and Matt Shirvington , Rove McManus , Hannah Hollis and Jason Dundas with Bernard Curry , Shaynna Blaze and Eddie McGuire .
The event has so far raised close to $10 million towards bushfire relief, with more donations expected from around the world following international broadcasts. Foxtel provided its coverage to networks in the US, the UK, New Zealand and other parts of the world to secure more fund raising opportunities for the rural relief fund. FIRE FIGHT AUSTRALIA was broadcast in the UK on Sunday February 16, in New Zealand on Monday February 17, and will air on the Fox Network throughout the United States in primetime on Saturday February 29.
All of the show-stopping performances are available to Foxtel subscribers On Demand via iQ3 and iQ4 set top boxes.
ROAD TO RECOVERY WITH SCOTT PAPE

SCOTT PAPE – BAREFOOT INVESTOR JOINS FOXTEL FOR LANDMARK TV SPECIAL
ROAD TO RECOVERY WITH SCOTT PAPE premieres Wednesday, March 11 at 8.30pm, exclusive to LifeStyle. All proceeds from advertising and sponsorship packages during the broadcast of the special will be donated to Anglicare Victoria Financial Counselling, to assist with their specialist Bushfire Recovery Financial Counselling Program.
The Fox schedule for New York on Ontvtonight shows XFL at 5:00pm and MSL Soccer from 8:00pm. It is the first weekend of the soccer season so Fox will not be bumping the match for a concert, I think.

Thanks, a little bit of dyslexia must have crept in there.
The concert highlights will be on Fox at 11pm.
That’s not primetime though.

Absolutely astronomical figures there.
- I can stream the coverage Live on 7Plus (as I’m in WA) meaning that I wont have to change channels from 7 to 72.
- The lineup was fantastic. Queen + Adam Lambert have put on a good show. As well with that, they are touring around Australia this month.
- Crowd at ANZ Stadium look pretty good. Just over 80k turned out to perform live.
- Larry Emdur and Kylie did well in the first half of the concert broadcast. At 5pm, the SUnrise Team took over the telecast.
- $9.5 million being raised - This was pretty good.
