That 2010-11 opener is also my favourite Channel 9 cricket opener, just ahead of the 2006-07 one.
I still prefer this one from the 80s

Seven and affiliates websites from 2007:
(looks weird because I didn’t turn off Ad Block Pro. There was a banner in the white space above, usually advertising Seven News or Today Tonight from memory)

Channel Seven Perth is located in Perth, Western Australia
Didn’t know that

Could have been for Channel Seven Perth of Perth Scotland though, so they needed to distinguish themselves.

They got that wrong…
It’s REALLY based in Melbourne…
Rage wasn’t a all night affair in the beginning apparently…

It was but it seemed to be a bit hit and miss in its early years. Some weeks it just didn’t air at all even when it was supposed to and in it’s place they’d just have a slide up on screen declaring that Rage wasn’t on.
But this was around the time the recording industry was starting to go all hard arse on demanding payment for TV stations airing video clips, so ABC may have had to cut the show out some weeks given the relative uncertainty over whether or not they could actually play video clips.
Given the nature of the “sign-off” here which is fairly abrupt with no national anthem or a friendly farewell, and that 11.30am is quite a late time for the signing back on, I would say in this instance it might have been a one-off perhaps to conduct some maintenance or something. Without knowing what time this clip went to air, I would hazard a guess that Rage did its normal overnight/early morning airing but with just a temporary shutdown for a couple of hours in the mid-morning.

Rare find. Carols in the Domain finale from 1996 featuring a star studded cast
1 Like
I see that Carols In The Domain has been using Seven Network personalities as the presenters of Carols In The Domain since at least 1996, with Noni Hazelhurst and then-husband John Jarratt (who of course, were the main hosts of Better Homes & Gardens at the time) presenting that year’s show.
Also, maybe it’s because I was very young when that went to air but while I certainly remember many appearances from Disney characters and The Wiggles at Carols In The Domain, I don’t recall Sesame Street characters ever been part of that event. Perhaps a one-off?
The News Update supers were played out from the On-Air Presentation department?
