Trademark issues, possibly? I do believe that Seven owns the licensing to Agro.

Anyone else agree that the show is here to stay on Saturdays?

I’d say so. It has been pulling decent numbers for a Saturday I would think.

i assume that ACA will remain on Saturday’s until the end of the year then? Most of us thought that it was on there temporary until The Latest “dissappeared” from Saturdays, but that hasn’t been the case lately. lol

Look at Border Patrol’s ratings last night. Only on in 3 markets, but beat ACA in 2 of them.

Former Liberal Party leader John Hewson is suing Nine, Tracy Grimshaw and ACA reporter Danielle Post in the Federal Court, alleging they falsely portrayed him as the incompetent chief of insurance company GSA Insurance Brokers that “dudded” victims of a savage storm.

Most likely Leila McKinnon will be hosting Saturday edition this week, with Deb Knight currently on holidays.
Or will Leila take over Saturday nights permanently?

Nice touch on the promo for Friday night’s edition - “In Living Colour” Nine logo and an ACA logo from the same era for a story on television show archives.

Thought the retro mid 1970s branding in that promo was a nice touch. Was waiting for the episode to appear on 9Now to grab a screen cap but the episode only came up briefly before being removed.
Very interested in that story to learn if those old tapes are stored at Willoughby and what will be happening with them. Surely they’d be looking to digitise all that content at some stage. It’d be a tragedy if they did what TEN did when vacating North Ryde and took them all to the local tip. You’d think there’d be any number of TV historians willing to donate time to do the job if Nine doesn’t want to pay someone to do it.

TV Cynic has beaten me to the punch, but here are the caps I got for what they’re worth:
I was under the impression that Nine’s archives are held in Sydney but not at Willoughby, with news footage (not too sure about the status of full bulletins/programs as they would’ve aired on though) dating back to the 1960s. General programming wise I’d imagine that Nine’s own archives would include programs produced in-house by the network, no idea about Sport and programs which aired on Nine but were produced by independent production companies.

Tonight’s ACA story was about the NFSA and based around the project to digitise their current library of vision and sound before the media deteriorates.

The story was good. They gave the impression that the storage vaults were at the main building at Acton, however the vaults are at Mitchell with small nitrate film vault in north Mitchell.

Wow, a story on old content which isn’t solely ripping from YouTube uploads… never thought I’d see the day.
