Glenn Dyer’s comments: Seven won narrowly on the bald figures, its gap was larger once the digital figures were stripped out. Australian Story on the ABC was a story Seven’s Sunday Night and Nine’s 60 Minutes (plus TT and ACA) should have done.

Four Corners was interesting, especially as a book launch for the new book by Paul Barry.
