Channel 9 wishes to thank Tony Abbott for providing our NRL pre-game entertainment with so much publicity in the past week. We could never have achieved 1.371M metro viewers without his help. We are grateful that Tony was able to promote Macklemore’s appearance on so many media outlets including Channel 10, Channel 7, ABC, Nova, 2DayFM, Triple M, Daily Telegraph, Facebook, The Guardian, WSFM, 2CH, KIIS, SBS, 2GB, smooth fm, Daily News, Sky News and, of course, Channel 9 itself.
Good to see 3.4M tuned in to see Freddy Fitler announce the discovery of a new bone named the ‘fibia’. A bigger bombshell than Macklemore, this bone sits halfway between the tibia and fibula, and is set to change legs everywhere.
