What was sports active all about?
One of several goes at “red button” interactive services by Nine (at least in the then-network O&O major East Coast markets) during the early days of Digital TV. Included stats, statistics and a highlights channel during Friday Night Football.
Another one around that time was an interactive service during Getaway. Not sure if the services running during Pompeii: The Last Day and the 2004 Federal Election were fully interactive or just a multiview channel though.

That was before everything went online.
I remember Listen Up!, they ran the series out in the 11.30am weekday timeslot.
Don’t remember Centre Of The Universe though. May have been played out late night (1am?)

That’s the night Martin Flood is going home $1 Million Dollars Richer with this question (Who was Never ‘Time’ Magazines Man of the Year) the choices were A. Adolf Hitler, B Ayatollah Khomeini, C. Joseph Stalin or D. Mao Zedong. He used the 50 / 50 to narrow the answers down to 2. With B or D, he locked in D Mao Zedong. That answer netted him a second $1 Million Dollars since Rob Fulton did it in October 2005.

There was some controversy surrounding that win, because there were rumours that Martin Flood cheated his way to the top prize.
The story goes that when he mentions an answer in the twelfth question (worth $125,000), someone coughs in the audience - this is exactly what happened during Charles Ingram’s run to the top prize in the British version (which was eventually annulled).
However after an investigation by A Current Affair, Flood was cleared by Nine of any wrong-doing.

Did they have those HD logos on the lineups for other markets? I’ve never seen it before. Perhaps it was Adelaide only?

HD icons on the Lineups might’ve been an Adelaide-only thing?
I do recall seeing a very similar (if not exactly the same) icon used as a graphic displayed in the bottom left hand corner of some programs here in Sydney though.

Never saw it on lineups though, just as a start of program graphic.
