  1. 1) I wouldn’t like to speculate.
    2) Not sure. Think at least 3. It will be filed under weekly ratings reports, but you would need to go back and search each one, so I nominate you for the task ha! I will provide better summary at end of year.

  2. 2 questions for you David:

    (1) If the AFL Grand Final rated similarly in prime-time, do you know what that roughly would have brought 7 up to in the weekly % share?

    (2) How many times has 7 snatched back a weekly win on consolidated figures this year? I recall 2, but is it more than that?
