Boxcutters - An Australian TV Podcast: A Cynical Attempt by Nine?

    Josh, perhaps you're upset by this because of your relationship with Roving Enterprises... I think this is a very smart move by Nine - why not take advantage? You always say that it's all about the ratings, and Nine know damn well what a good number of viewers will be watching at 8.30pm.

    Of course, it would also be sweet to see it backfire on Nine.

    And after all that, it turns out that it doesn't really matter if Nine were desperately chasing ratings or not: Sunday was the first day of the ratings break for Easter and Nine was showing a repeat of CSI anyway. Perhaps they were just up to their usual trick of treating what little audience they have left with contempt.

    There wasn't much else worth watching last night, so we tuned in to Rove - nice work at the swimming - very meta!
