2-part true crime documentary Sydney’s Killer Cop premieres on TVNZ 1 next Monday (December 8) at 8.30pm.

On February 18th, 2024, something deep inside the psyche of Beau Lamarre-Condon – a policeman, celebrity stalker and blogger – snapped. Lamarre-Condon’s ex Jessie Baird, a TV presenter, and Luke Davies were both shot dead with a police-issue revolver that night. How did a trusted member of the police force become a cold-blooded murderer? How was Lamarre-Condon caught… and, tragically, where had he hidden the bodies of the two young men? Over two episodes a harrowing story unfolds around the famous Sydney gay scene, a policeman who flirted as a celebrity spotter, and how his delusional star-spotting would disintegrate around him into a deadly horror show.

The documentary is produced by Australia’s Perpetual Entertainment and distributed by DCD Rights. It is yet to air in Australia for legal reasons. Beau Lamarre-Condon has pleaded not guilty of killing Baird and Davies, and is set to face trial in Supreme Court of New South Wales in September 21 next year.

Nothing works on Sky Open.
I think the days of worrying about clashing/that sort of stuff (excuse the pun) might be over.

Upcoming changes to Freeview.
Sky Open and Rush are being brought up to 8 & 9, while Eden gets pushed down to 18.

Sky Open +1 and Eden +1 are also being removed.

Not surprised by this. I wonder how long Eden will be around, they’ve had no new programming for ages.

It seems like they gave up on Eden, Rush and HGTV long ago. I can’t remember the last time I saw any promotion for programming on any of those channels, it’s just wall-to-wall ThreeNow promotion. Most people have probably forgotten these channels exist.

Never really understood the need for Eden of all channels to have a +1 in 2025, it’s not like 3/4 of its programs aren’t already on ThreeNow anyway.

Sky Open losing its +1’s a bit of a shame though, didn’t really last long on Freeview. Maybe they could finally add on the TVNZ ones while they’re shifting stuff around.
