The Block last night won it for Nine. Foreign Correspondent on the ABC brought in an audience of 492,000 nationally, with Q+A straight after seeing 343,000. The 18 or so non-main channels last night had a total share of 32.7% — anything but the main channels after the 6 to 7.30pm news programs are finished.
Frankly begins tonight at 8.30 pm — the first new talk show in years. Half an hour with Fran Kelly! A delight.
