Couldn’t get tickets to The Footy Show or punishment for misbehaving?

Haha… I remember asking my parents at the time if this was the Footy Show.

Ten used to make an effort to skew old on Fridays, no idea why they don’t bother trying to program their nights according to demand.

What was Live it Up, was that an American show?
The cricket on Ten was a direct simulcast of Galaxy’s Premier Sports Network (now Fox Sports) coverage with their commentators led by the late David Hookes. Ten had to cover it as part of anti-siphoning legislation for cricket telecasts at the time.

Live It Up, from memory, was a lifestyle show hosted by Trish Goddard, who had a varied career at the ABC before moving back to her native UK.

Better known in her later career as Trisha Goddard. She hosted her own shows on ITV and Channel Five, and a relatively short-lived USA version in recent years.

Live It Up started as a weekly prime time show on Seven but vanished quickly before later coming back as a weekday afternoon show on Ten

Seven must not have had much faith in the show.
It was on Saturday nights up against Hey Hey It’s Saturday so its fate was probably sealed before it even began

Kinda like what happened to YTT near the end of its original run.
Still Eyewitness News in Adelaide (as it was for the Curran owned stations in Perth and Canberra too) even though the rest of the network has changed for this time.
Interesting that the May 11th issue says Eyewitness News but the April 21st one doesn’t (presumably inconsistencies as a result of local variation between the name of the bulletin between cities at the time).

Strange that a NewsCorp paper is sponsoring a show on Channel 31, I thought Mr Murdoch has a hatred of community broadcasting! And I’m sure if C31 asked Foxtel if they can retransmit their signal on it, they would get a polite way of saying “F— off!”

The only “home” game that the Allies got in their 4 year State of Origin run, played at The Gabba. Vics won easily, Allies never appeared at open aged men’s level again.
The last time this match was played under portable lights at the Whitten Oval (99 was played at the Adelaide Oval, 2000 in Geelong, 2001-2002 at Princes Park, with subsequent matches until last year being played at Docklands). Vics won by 2 points, probably with the usual staged finish (even if they won’t admit it).
