Seven owned the Melbourne Cup, which produced a bizarre set of figures. Even its news was up 190,000. Everyone wants to see a nag in full flight, except customers of the government broadcasters, whose share was pretty stable.

In the punting spirit, both Hot Seat and Million $ Minute were up, though Nine still beats Seven handily. Citizens still had the strength to change channels.
