News & CA:

Seven News lost Melbourne, but won the rest. Today Tonight lost Sydney and Melbourne and only moved ahead of A Current Affair because of big margins in Adelaide and Perth. Did TT lose viewers in Sydney and Melbourne because of the Julia Gillard interview? Seven News beat Nine News in Sydney easily (470,000 to 392,000) but ACA beat TT, 396,000 to 384,000, so the loss of viewers on Seven was quite noticeable.

Glenn Dyer’s comments: Another bland night of TV. Four Corners had a very good story on people smuggling.

TONIGHT: Packed to the Rafters on Seven. Foreign Correspondent on the ABC at 8pm (it’s on Fiji). Nine has another boys own adventure from the lads on Top Gear. Ten has The 7pm Project and Modern Family. Deadwood on ABC2 at 9.30pm.
