what are you talking about Sam? the Four Corners story was terrific – Johns has no one to blame but himself. if he didn’t do anything wrong then there would not have been any story in the first place!

Kuttyswood you may as well give up your strange obsession over Seven’s 5.30 timeslot in Brisbane. Nine axed Extra, and Seven aren’t going to replace it or chuck a Gold Coast News in at 5.30 no matter how much you moan and complain and present your flawed argument in any article that has even an obscure link to news, game shows or ratings. Get over it!!

The Brisbane contingent has probably just raised the likelihood of a Seven-produced Gold Coast news service tenfold. Pity it isn’t reflecting in the 6pm ratings, from strong 300,000+ averages to 263k averages since the start of July.

Agree with Andy, TT and ACA winning a Walkley not only makes me vomit, but is a blight on the awards and another nail in the coffin for decent home grown journalism.

Congratulations to all the winners, especially Gold Walkley winner Gary Hughes from The Australian, who lost his St Andrews home and his possessions (including the three Walkleys he won before) and still managed to write his personal account of Black Saturday. As the judges said, “that’s what the print journalism is all about.”

Today Tonight won an award for journalism? Now i’ve seen everything! And while outside the scope of your tv blog, it is worth noting that the ABC also won 5 awards for the radio division.
