Nine broadcasted a ONe Day Cricket match between Australia and Bangladesh in Darwin. IIRC, Simon O’Donnell was the host of the Mid-Year ODI series when Australia took on Bangladesh.

Still does. Writes for a paper otherwise, appears sometimes on ICC/Star feeds and yes, focuses mainly on doing MCC work in the English summer now FTA rights in the UK are at the BBC. Also did some packages for Nine during the just gone Ashes.

Hasn’t he done work for Sky Sports Uk as well?

During the POst-Olympic Games, Ch 10 continued to show midday movies. I wonder whether the Jerry Springer show are falling behind episodes during the 3rd quarter of 2004?
Channel 7 aired a primetime DOND at 7:30 which is the Conflict of the Couples.

Close to 3 years behind by the time Ten axed it. The show was producing nearly 200 episodes a year so I think Ten were always falling further behind with each public/school holiday where they couldn’t show it.

Those radio guides take me back. John Doe on Triple M from memory was Byron Webb. “The Reclining Rocker” on One FM was Jason Bouman.

That whole lineup is solid.
