Perhaps a shirts-off Friday (to tie in with Hamish and Andy's pants-off Friday) could be in the works, although I'm not sure how the female contestants would feel about that.

So if it's now Million Dollar Wheel of Torture (I mean Fortune), does that mean that a champ may only stay on for 5 nights to win a maximum of $1,000,000?

cragiej, from what I have heard, that at Christmas the bosses at Nine commended the Extra staff as a example of what Nine should be doing these days.

I would not be surprised if a lot of Extra/Gold Coast News viewers only watch the program(s) because 7 does not offer a proper alternative to Extra (especially in the field of consumer affairs since 7 dumped Brisbane's local Today Tonight in 2003 in favor of a east coast edition) in the Brisbane market nor does it produce any local news for the ever growing amount of people who live on the Gold Coast.

The other factor is that 7 Brisbane recruited in late 2006, John Schluter (who left Nine in September that year) and Sharon Ghidella (who read the news on Today), two people (and one segment, the Sunday Flashbacks) which have turned 7's Sunday news into consistantly Brisbane's top program each week (with nearly 400,000 viewers every Sunday), which has even spread the momentum slowly to weekdays where 7 News can attract 300,000+ viewers at 6pm (as well as a large radio audience through simulcasts on Brisbane's 96.5 FM and Ipswich's River 94.9 FM).

I live in Brisbane don't I?

why someone hasnt put Brisbane Extra out if its misery is beyond me, for those of you elsewhere, its horriffic! I can understand when nine news was winnning in Brisbane the “If it aint broke dont fix it” mentality, but with Seven news now firmly entrenched as #1 up here, surely its time to try something else at 5.30pm..Please..someone at TCN in Sydney, make the call..axe it..please..

It seems like this may actually give Deal or No Deal a good run for its money. A trusted formula that’s been vamped up with bigger stakes and prize money (I should be in publicity, really) will defiantly attract audience. Lets hope the host can work the show well.
