In 1995 Channel Nine carried ABC World News Tonight via satellite from the United States.

that originated from Premier Sports Network (now Fox Sports) on the now-defunct Galaxy platform. Ten only showed it to comply with anti-siphoning legislation at the time. Had David Hookes been still alive today he would have been the face of Fox Cricket. He was the face of Premier Sports/Fox Sports in the late 90s and early 2000s.

Nine premiered a new footy talk show, Footy Classified, after Nine lost the AFL rights at the end of the previous year. I found it quite interesting that on the WIN guide, they had the Football Classified being listed.

Note no infomercials, but in 1994 Prime and Southern Cross pre-empted network programming around 1am to show infomercials overnight. Also note Southern Cross in Victoria did not show Ren and Stimpy, instead they aired Chris Conroy’s Leisureworld.
Ten metros began showing Telemall Shopping the following year.

I Don’t know I think that Ten screened it in the late 90s
Perhaps not a great idea to spout things as fact if you don’t actually know.
And, I’m also not sure your comment about late 90s is entirely correct, either, though others may know for sure.

I found through the articles on the late 1990s TV listings that Ten did not screen CBS Evening News that period it must been after the 2000s
Ten did not screen CBS Evening News in the 90’s at all or even in the 2000s. I know that it was seen occasionally on Nine if for some reason they couldn’t show ABC World News Tonight at the 10:30am slot. But it wasn’t very often.

Sky News for many years aired CBS Evening News, ABC World News Tonight (after Nine didn’t want it anymore) and ABC Nightline but the Evening News NEVER aired on Ten.

Over on TEN, they broadcasted a Monday night AFL match between the Collingwood Magpies and Adelaide at Telstra Dome. In WIN Territory, they delayed the AFL game through to 10:40 pm.
The final Who Wants to be a Millionaire? went to air. This came when departing host, Eddie McGuire went to become CEO of Channel Nine.

I seem to recall Nine having exclusive access to ABC and CBS back in the 90s.
