As far as I’m aware, the Nine Guide channel (and some of the others during the early days of Digital TV such as the multiview and Nine Sports Active services) was never transmitted in Perth.
Only the three main East Coast markets got the service.

Nine Adelaide and PErth didnt have guides and I think Adelaide station was under Southern Cross Broadcasting while Perth station was under Sunraysia TV.
SCB owned NWS-9 and Sunraysia TV owned STW-9 back then
Taken on Channel Nine in 2004 (Tuesday)

An all time classic with Jamie Durie falling out of a wheelbarrow at the end before the logo and “Still the One” appears.

He won $500k. After walking away Eddie McGuire asked the contestant what answer he would have preferred. Had he got it wrong, he would have lost $468k. Had this person got the wrong answer he would have put in?

I wonder how that Wimbledon final between Roger Federer and Mark Philippoussis rated.
As we all know, it would be the first of 20 Majors that Federer would win.

The ratings for Wimbledon Men’s final in 2003 failed to make the top 20 in the 2003 ratings year.
Which is understandable given the late-starting time in Australia.
Though for another topic, the most-watched tennis match in Australia ever remains the 2005 Australian Open men’s final.
I know given the fact, that it is shown during overnight. Correct me if i’m wrong but didn’t Friday’s Wimbledon night was shown on delay given that they had AFL in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth, and NRL in Sydney and Brisbane?
