  1. I think so, the fact they didn’t renew Jack Newton’s contract and there have been many reports that Seven will be ending so you would think so.

    Expect all the big three to be either on TEN or ONE next year.

  3. It’s going to be weird without Jack Newton there.

    Looking forward to it, espically the masters weekend where TEN HD also has a golf tournament on, golf on two FTA channels, never thought i would see that.
