Nine won the ratings in Sydney for 2003 and 2004, although Seven closed the gap last year, putting pressure on Nine and Waley's performance.
Uechtritz does not concede Nine took its eyes off the ball. "I'll let others be the judge of that," he says. "All I can say is that at any given time, in any given competitive environment, be it news or business, you need to refocus. Frankly, for journalism and news, I think the best thing that happened was that the numbers got a bit closer last year. We won the year. We won it comfortably in the end, but no disrespect to Seven, they are being very industrious. We can see how they are trying and that just pushes people further."
Nine's Sydney bulletin continued to beat Seven's in the ratings but Ian Ross was beginning to make dents in Nine's supremacy by winning the occasional night.
