The Bolt Report this year will be one hour.

Bolt Report was brilliant this morning, watch the replay this afternoon.
A now one hour oasis of sanity from the week long biased blatherings of the ABC, SBS and Fairfax.
Costa, Costello and Henderson carved them up. What a loss to public life is Peter Costello, but Tony Abbott is growing into the job, as his interview showed.

I unfortunately watched about 3 minutes of it today...what a crock.
I never thought i would agree with you S_C, but Bolt is so predictably boring. The performances of he and Abbott this morning answered nothing and got nowhere. It would be better if Bolt would stop proselytizing and just ask probing questions.

Abbott only goes on there because of the lack of probing questions.
Yes. Pretty much my comment earlier in the "ABC is Political" thread.
The Bolt Report: Andrew is back but he's missing the spark
Andrew Bolt is a happy man. But that’s bad news for The Bolt Report ”” the fact is, he’s better, sharper, hungrier when he’s got a left-leaning government to despise
But poor old Andrew has one serious inhibition to happy reunion and communion with his peoples. He’s still fighting that big, red, shouty, cheap-as-chips Bolt Report set. The backdrop pulsates behind him; you fear at times he’ll be lost to a Dickensian spontaneous combustion
This morning’s offerings were, in order of appearance, cleaning up for Scott Morrison on the Manus Island disturbance. Andrew had viewed the footage of detainees and reached the conclusion that none of those people “looked like people I’d want in Australia”. (Who actually needs refugee determinations anyhow?) Andrew was perplexed why The Left had not lamented for the asylum seekers who had drowned at sea, forgetting of course that they had lamented, at length. Manus, Andrew reasoned, was now saving the deaths at sea that Labor had point blank refused to prevent. (The fact that Labor established the current horror show on Manus, not Scott Morrison, was not mentioned by the host.)
Then there was the “Morning Andrew” panel where everyone absolutely agreed with everyone else that, 1. Stephen Conroy was clinically insane; 2. Bill Shorten was weak for not diagnosing the clinical insanity and Taking Action; 3. Qantas should just bloody well fail if that’s what the market decides; and 4. All businesses with unionised workforces were doomed to fail because they employed people on salaries that were the same each and every week. (This was Peter Costello and Michael Costa, who presumably don’t get paid fixed salaries – their remuneration fluctuates along with share price movements.)
Gerard Henderson was then invited in a media watch segment to reflect on why the ABC and Fairfax and David Marr and Mark Colvin and an unnamed PM producer despise all Catholics who are real Catholics and not lapsed or liberal Catholics. (Let’s call this particular on-Zeitgeist conundrum The Eternal Why.)
No doubt this link will prove The Bolt Report combined ratings for 10 am and 4 pm far exceeds the ratings of the ABC Insiders.
The show was so popular 10 decided to make it an hour long show.

Does anyone actually watch channel 10 these days? I thought they'd gone bankrupt already.

So what? Honestly, who cares what the ratings are, unless you're a Ten shareholder?
FYI, if you can get a hold of the Oztam ratings for this year you'll see that Insiders is beating Bolt. Your three year old data sample is well out of date.
Do the ratings consider this possibility ?
The Bolt Report ratings have flopped which is not surprising as how do you rant against Labor etc. every week when the Conservative are in power and people are more interested in what they do.
In the morning The Bolt Report again flopped, gathering just 95,000 metro viewers at 10am and 110,000 for the 4pm repeat. Insiders with 288,000 on News 24 and ABC1 was easily the best morning chat show. In fact Insiders had more viewers watching on News24 than watched the Bolt Report at 10am. Nationally, Bolt had 170,000 for the 4pm repeat and 145,000 for the 10am live broadcast. Insiders had 440,000 national viewers on ABC1 and News24.

Careless with the facts, Bolt on 19 May told 2GB's listeners that: "Tony Abbott was falsely accused of punching a wall next to the head of the student official when he was at university..."
He was talking in the context of student demonstrations that greeted foreign minister Julie Bishop and how sad it was that there had not been the same amount of condemnation that greeted the story about Abbott and his wall punching. Bolt went on:
How many interviews did David Marr give about his book about Tony Abbott hitting a wall? I mean, on the ABC it was wall-to-wall. You couldn't turn on the ABC without it. If that is such a terrible thing - and he [Abbott] denied it and there are no eye witness accounts of him actually doing it that are credible. If that is such a germane thing, something that happened 30 something years ago, why is there zero, zero condemnation [of Bishop being jostled], it seems to me, from the usual mouthpieces of the left? What’s happening to Liberal politicians today?
That woe-begotten spray contained a crucial error. There were two credible eye witnesses, one of whom had made a sworn statement about what happened in 1977.
Andrew Bolt the latest to apologise over Tony Abbott's wall punch
As long as pundits keep questioning Barbara Ramjan's account of the Abbott university wall punch, they'll keep having to give grovelling apologies
