I can feel it in me waters, that this year we'll see the changing of the guard, and 7 knock 9 off their perch as the number 1 network.

7 made huge inroads last year and closed the gap, and IMO are poised to take the next step.

New mega shows added to the lineup should get them across the line:

Desperate Housewives, Lost, Prison Break, The Amazing Race, Commander in Chief, Dancing with the Stars plus better performing lead in audience with the news and TT sets things up well for them.

Probably enough shows there to see them winning most nights from Sunday - Thursday

My guess is the biggest loser of viewers will be 10, as BB, Idol etc are tiring quickly and 9 putting up a fight, but struggling to hold ground.

Your thoughts?

For me, Yes...and I hated channel 7 years ago.

2005 was a great year to turn things around.

Brand New Series in Lost and Desperate Housewives were very successful to say the least, and their new series are starting. Prison Break is a new series which is fantastic and has the whole country watching I am sure. The Amazing Race will have another series on at what can be said, Prime Time, after Lost as usual. Las Vegas also. Family Guy and American Dad (probably haven't lasted though) are both on the network, which gives them a good name.

Channel 9 however specialise in Drama's, and they have always been on the top. CSI, CSI New York, CSI Miami, Without a Trace, Cold Case, and Invasion is the newest. They should however do good.

The main battle is News, and their is no way Channel 7 news and Today Tonight compares to Channel 9 news and ACA, and not to forget 60 minutes is always in the ratings. Sunrise however is a better morning news show than Today, but seriously, nobody cares, that is not a prime-time. A ratio of 4:1 probably watch 6pm:7am

Commander in Chief won't rate.It's already on it's death bed in the US.

I heard Friends was very close to being axed in the US when it was number one in Australia.
