i remembered back in 2004, Channel 10 having encores of Neighbours at 11:30am just before the Midday News. I wondered how long the MIdday News experiment last. Sadly, it didn’t rate well and had to shift back to 11:30am. I also noticed that encore of Judge Judy aired in its 8:30am timeslot with a PG rating.
Actually in 2004 that 11.30am slot was early episodes of Neighbours rather than an encore of the previous night’s episode. In previous years Ten were showing early episodes 3.30pm Weekdays.
I didn’t know channel ten had the rights to champ car (now indy car) racing.
Yeah, for years, would always be shown delayed on a Monday night.

I noticed that CHannel Nine logo was modified as a crown to coincide with the Dame Edna Treatment.
OVer at Channel 7, they televised a Western Bulldogs v West Coast match at 7:30pm, instead of 8:30pm. I assume that Better Homes and Gardens had to be bumped to the following night.
A crown?
Oh possum, that’s not a crown, they’re from her glasses.

The rights were linked in a way with the Gold Coast race. They were shown very early mornings on Channel 9 between 1991 and 1995 on either a Monday or Tuesday (often with a major league baseball game played on the other day via CBS in 1991-1993), then went to 10 from 1996-2006 shown late night Mondays (occasionally after 2 hours of Big Brother) with an occasional Saturday lunchtime replay prior to the acquisition of the AFL rights. Channel 7 covered the series in 2007 prior to the merger of ChampCar and the IRL before 2008.
A lot of the time they would take the same feed as America’s coverage headed by Paul Page or Bob Varsha on ABC (America)/ESPN prior to 2001 (starting alongside Sam Posey/Bobby Unser or Derek Daly depending on host network, then Danny Sullivan from 1996-98 and finally Parker Johnstone until 2001) but every now and again the international feed with Ben Edwards and Jeremy Shaw was used. From 2002-2006 except for 2004 they used the international feed (Leigh Diffey and Shaw in 2002, Stephen Cox and Shaw in 2003, American Spike TV feed in 2004 headed by Rick Benjamin and Tommy Kendall, then for 2005 it was Shaw joined by various others, notably James Hinchcliffe who now is in the current NBC booth). 2007 was the ESPN feed with Benjamin and Jon Beekhuis.

The 2012 Summer Olympics in London got underway on Nine/GEM. Nine and Foxtel used separate commentators. Ray Warren did swimming, Andrew Voss did weightlifting, James Brayshaw did rowing, Michael Slater/Michael Murphy did diving on Nine. Karl Stefanovic, Ken Sutcliffe and Cameron Williams host the Olympics sessions, while Mark Nicholas did the London Gold segment. I wonder whether Peter Donegan called from the Foxtel feed or via Nine?
I imagine what was I’m front of him at the stadium?
