The ABC’s Yearly with Charlie Pickering gained more viewers for its 2016 special, capturing an audience 646,000, according to OzTAM’s preliminary overnight ratings.

The annual program gained 54,000 viewers from last year’s episode, which was beaten by Seven’s Better Home and Gardens.

Despite the win, Seven’s police reality show, Highway Patrol, grabbed the biggest audience in the non-news category with 728,000 viewers at 7:30pm, ahead of last week’s audience of 684,000.

we watch this for kitty flanagan. she’s the anarchist cook in the structure. the other two have their ryan-and-martin schtick, but she’s the real word-genius here, the rants are genuinely, side-splittingly funny.

I suspect she does well because she’s both smart, and on-screen for a short bite. I don’t know it works outside of that role.

Why are we adopting this faux US model of the wise head at a desk interviewing for comedic-news value? I’m kinda over it. Laugh at the silly news story children, its better than crying at the facts…
