Those Sunday Night figures must be making Sixty Minutes nervous. That program’s been punching above its weight for some time with meatier stories than Nine’s flagship show. Remember Sixty Minutes had the Olympics to build its brand but the Sunday Night program has if anything jumped in popularity despite the Olympics. Wonder if it’s a lot to do with the way they value a good story – and don’t maketheir reporters the most important thing in the story. They’ve got some fabulous reporters on the SEven show too.. Interesting that many of their staff helping them win the battle against Sixty used to work at Nine anyway! If I was David Gyngell I’d be very very nervous.
