Sunday

"Sunday" was long the jewel in the crown of Nine's news and current affairs line-up. … Critically acclaimed for its long-form features and in-depth reporting on serious issues, it was nurtured by proprietor Kerry Packer as an invaluable and prestigious part … of the network's … news image, despite relatively low vewership. … Unfortunately for the program, in the wake of Packer's retirement and subsequent relinquishing of Nine, the program did not survive the commercially-driven cost-cutting of the network's new owners. … A much lighter and brighter version of "Today on Sunday" is now in its place.
