Ben Fordham told 3AW’s Dee Dee Dunleavy today that on some nights, filming did not finish until 6.10am. Ben then had to choose whether to get 2-3 hours of sleep, or persist on for his 2GB drive show from 3AW’s Docklands studios. He chose the latter.

That’d be the time he got back to the hotel, not when filming finished.
By the sounds of it, Ben would not have got back to the hotel before 7am.

I thought Ben’s drive show is at 3pm. If ANW didn’t finish till 6:10am there’s still plenty of time to get rest before preparing for the 3pm show, unless if prep is for about 8 hours before the show.

This is the new set at the southern side of Royal Melbourne Showgrounds. Notice the Showgrounds railway station in the middle left (in the orange colour lighting), near Mount Midoriyama. Flemington Racecourse is on the top right of the screencap.
The set was built in the open space between the Showbags Pavilion on the left and Agricultural Hall on the right. During the Royal Melbourne Show each year, the space is allocated for thrillseeker rides.

Australian Ninja Warrior: Season 4
Bigger, Better and even Tougher
A new era of Australian Ninja Warrior is in store on Nine when 140 supremely fit athletes tackle the world’s toughest obstacle course in the 2020 series of the spectacular blockbuster.
This year the prizemoney jackpots to a staggering $400,000 for the competitor who can make it through the torture test of the new Power Tower and then conquer gravity-defying Mt Midoriyama to claim the title of the Australian Ninja Warrior.
For the first time in ANW history, it will be Ninja versus Ninja as each night the two fastest Ninjas compete on the Power Tower, an almighty obstacle four storeys high, with the victorious Ninja gaining a crucial edge leading into the finals.
The Power Tower is a muscle-busting game-changer that will have audiences on the edge of their seats as the competition goes to a whole new level.
Hosts Rebecca Maddern, Ben Fordham and Freddie Flintoff, joined for the first time by Shane Crawford, will take viewers through every triumph and fail on the wild Ninja Warrior ride.
See all the thrills, spills and surprises as fan favourites from previous seasons join a fresh lineup of competitors in Melbourne on the toughest course ever assembled for Australian Ninja Warrior.
And in an eye-popping sequel, this year’s series will be capped off by a two-part special team event – Australian Ninja Warrior: State of Origin.

A New Era of Australian Ninja Warrior Begins
Sunday 26 July at 7.00pm
Australian Ninja Warrior is back with a bang – season four of the global phenomenon returns on Sunday, July 26, at 7.00pm on Nine and 9Now.
It’s a new era with gut-busting new challenges as audiences get a front-row seat to the thrills and spills on the world’s toughest obstacle course, crowned by the gravity-defying Mt Midoriyama. This year, will Australian Ninja Warrior history be made when someone finally conquers it and claims the staggering jackpot prize of $400,000?
One hundred and forty everyday Aussies have been training in preparation to triumph in Australian Ninja Warrior 2020. They’re mums and dads, tradies and farmers, students and business owners, who will line up to see if they have what it takes to win.
Viewers will be at the edge of their seats as competitors tackle new obstacles on the heartbreaking course and the two fastest and furthest each night strive for a game-changing advantage on the almighty Power Tower, which sees Ninja versus adrenaline-fuelled Ninja for the very first time.
Nine’s Ninja hosts – Rebecca Maddern, Ben Fordham, Freddie Flintoff and Shane Crawford – will be joined by a raft of new heroes and returning favourites, including Olympic gymnast Olivia Vivian, last year’s winner Charlie Robbins, and Australia’s speediest Ninja, Ashlin “Flashin” Herbert.
Nine’s Head of Content Production and Development, Adrian Swift, said: “There is nothing else like Australian Ninja Warrior on our TV screens. It’s fast-paced, electrifying, action-packed family fun. The inclusion of the Power Tower brings a fresh new element that will have viewers loving the Ninja versus Ninja action.
“After the success of the show last year it was a no-brainer to have the series return to Melbourne, and heading into our fourth season the Ninjas hungry to tackle our brand new course.”
