414,000 for Lateline -will Tony Jones honour pledge to join Twitter?

"If we actually hit 200,000 viewers on News 24 I will set up a Twitter account," he promised in March 2015.

“I’ll make a deal with you. If we actually hit 200,000 viewers on News 24 I will set up a Twitter account. How’s that?”

So pledged Tony Jones in March 2015 when Lateline relaunched on ABC News 24.

Last night the show did more than double that figure: 414,000 viewers. So will he follow through on the promise, or do we just take that as a Comment?

Co-host Emma Alberici has already re-tweeted that Jones should now join her on Twitter.

  1. That 414k figure will be for the peak of the spill coverage (9:30-10pm), not Lateline.

    I don’t think Lateline started until after 11pm, though that might be the 221k ABC News LE (Late Evening?).

    1. And here was me thinking that the reason that you weren’t telling everyone what you’ve been having for lunch was because you have crappy internet!
