I noticed that Bert’s Family Feud was bumped from 5:30 pm to 5pm. I believe that this was similar to what happened back in late 2005, when Nine Perth moved TPIR to 5pm. I wonder whether this might have to do with low ratings for BFF.
After 1 vs 100 game show, Nine broadcasted a ICC Cricket World Cup match between Australia and Sri Lanka from Grenada. Mark Taylor and Ian Healy were in Sydney studios, with Nine taking the World Feed commentary from the stadium. After the Cricket finished, they went straight into The Today Show. I wonder if this was near live into WA?
Seems harsh for them to give Hi-5 a thumbs down given its aimed toward young kids.
I am pretty certain I taped that airing of the Mario Bros. movie. Also around the time I started watching DBZ as well.
Also, That scene they use to describe that nights episode of The Sopranos is one of my favorite in the entire series, No idea why but I just always found it amusing.
I wonder what “The Morning Shift” was all about - could it have been the “gap-filler” (so to speak) between 11AM and The Morning Show, even if it didn’t last long?
The Morning Shift was hosted by Lisa Wilkinson and (from memory) Duncan Armstrong. They set up a studio in the old Harbourside Shopping Centre at Darling Harbour for the show.
7 News: Target Iraq had only been on for a few weeks… the first afternoon news bulletin. The bulletin was coming from Sydney at this time… but by June it became 7 News @ 4.30 while production moved to Melbourne.
And then simply the 4:30 news or News at 4:30 which was a popular lead-in to its primetime schedule with a rerun of MASH and Deal or No Deal before Seven News and Today Tonight
And Seven had a late news at 11.30pm. And not many gave a rats that it was “so late” back then…
Surprise Chef. A simple 30 minute cooking show on Seven. Well, actually 28 minutes long thanks to Oz Lotto that aired afterwards. These days, MKR airs 100+minute episodes 4 nights a week.
Good to see ABC’s daytime schedule being able to fit all their shows into the allocated space with the small font, unlike tv week these days with ABC Kids…
The Late News had a good-ish run though, from 1995 until 2003.
There you go - i didn’t know about the 2 minute national update. Many years later, The Latest started with erratic scheduling.
