Glenn Dyer's TV ratings: expensive bathrooms fail to entice

That is a Bollinger Moment, even in these days of bean counters reigning supreme, last night’s ratings performance by Seven deserves and old fashioned blow out because it was one of the more decisive nights of the year. Seven easily won the metros and the regions thanks to the return of The X Factor and […]

Glenn Dyer's TV ratings: a weak night for all
