ABC
The Tuesday line-up has delivered the ABC its biggest Tuesday share of the year. In Sydney the ABC primary channel ranked #2, only behind Nine.

The final of the three-part Exposed: The Ghost Train Fire delivered some explosive revelations from the work of journalists Caro Meldrum-Hanna and Patrick Begley. The tragic fire at Luna Park in 1979 was linked to Sydney underworld figure Abe Saffron and the program also investigated links between Saffron and former Premier of NSW Neville Wran and also former High Court Justice Lionel Murphy.

It was an incredible piece of television that will certainly be an award-winner. The episode had an audience of 478,000 after the first two episodes rated 378,000 and 398,000.

Earlier in the night 7.30 delivered part two of Alan Kohler’s four-part look at Superannuation in Australia – The future of retirement – with 588,000 watching.

In between the news shows was the series return of Anh’s Brush with Fame with 509,000 watching Anh work on a portrait of Jamie Durie as he probed the celebrity designer and gardener’s career.

SBS

The top rating show on SBS was a repeat of Great Australian Railway Journeys with 247,000.
