  1. Mike says:

    The funny thing about this is, a rating of 2mill viewers would get a show immediately cancelled in the US
    :) and for us its combined 3 channels ..

  2. Matt says:

    America’s population is slightly larger than New Zealand’s. That might have something to do with it Mike?

  3. Brogues says:

    Diana’s funeral was also covered by TV3 and Sky’s news channels. When you add those figures, would it rate higher?
