\n\t\t\t\t\tA 3 minute PM video extrapolated to a half hour analysis was a winner for Seven News.\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Last night all five Free to Air networks carried a 3 minute address from PM Albanese on the fuel crisis facing the nation.<\/p>\n

ABC and SBS carried it within their news bulletins, Nine within A Current Affair and 10 ahead of its quiz show.<\/p>\n

Seven went all-in, analysing it live from Canberra with Michael Usher, Mark Riley and various guests.<\/p>\n

To their credit it drew 1.22m for Seven News Extended,\u00a0beating A Current Affair and netting a number higher than Home & Away would have in the same slot.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Seven\u2019s soap screening in a 7:30 slot, managed a timeslot win at 1.08m then 7:30 (993,000), Tipping Point: Celebrity Special (744,000), Australian Survivor (432,000) and Tonight at the Museum (421,000).<\/p>\n

Nine News was 1.4m then A Current Affair (1.18m), then Tipping Point (747,000) and something called One Tank Holiday -which sounds like branded TV with ex-Block contestants to me (298,000).<\/p>\n

ABC News was 1.06m then Hard Quiz (348,000), Can You Keep a Secret? (207,000) and Melbourne Comedy Festival (157,000).<\/p>\n
