ABC TV No.1 In Newcastle
21May07

In an amazing result, ABC have recorded the two highest rating programs on Newcastle TV for the last week. The Chasers War on Everything and Spicks and Specks have outrated everything the commercial stations could offer for the first time in memory. These two programs have been rating extremely well nationally but not 1 & 2 for the week.

It goes to show that there is a place for innovative and entertaining material on Aussie TV. Chaser and Spicks & Specks are relatively low budget programs relying on the abilities of some very talented people to deliver highly entertaining products. What a turn-around to see comedy outrating forensic investigators, reality TV and even rugby league. We obviously needed a laugh!!
