That night, the 2006 FIFA World Cup began in Germany with the Opening Ceremony and the Opening Match between Germany and Costa Rica from Munich.
As well, on that night, one family walked away with $100 000. The Pezzulich family became the first family on Bert’s Family Feud to win the big lot. I wonder what the ratings looked like with the big money won on the show…

This spelt Bert incorrectly.

They were so desperate for viewers they had to divulge in the advertising that the big prize went off.

Quite a heavy schedule of sport on Nine with AFL (Saints v Crows), NRL (Broncos v Dragons) and US Open Golf. In WIN Territory, they didn’t have the US Open Golf, instead they screened Good Morning America.
There was also a very large schedule of FIFA World Cup being shown during primetime and past overnight on SBS.

That was the US Open golf they mixed in the broadcast with the Today show and showed only portions of it.
Oddly enough, it was an Australian who won it, in Geoff Ogilvy.

Random episode of Charlie’s Angels on Ten at 10:20pm for some reason. It wasn’t on the previous or following Fridays.

Probably as a tie in with the 2000 film.

I think the ABC ended up broadcasting this Ashes Test instead of Nine.

Sounds like Nine prioritised the cricket over tennis, as it was the final day of the Second Test.
Which brings us to the present, where this kind of scheduling anomaly is now avoided thanks to multichannels which allows Nine to televise events on the main channel or 9Gem depending on which they think will rate higher.
