They’ve done it a few times LIVE in Melbourne on 9Gem around 8:30pm in the past, such as following a big news story and/or due to very late main channel time. I feel previously it used to be pre-recorded, but it’s definitely live now, even if first run at 10:30pm.

ORIGINAL HOST TINA DALTON RETURNS TO GETAWAY
SATURDAY, MAY 13, ON CHANNEL 9 AND 9NOW
It must be déjà vu! One of Getaway’s first hosts, Tina Dalton, returns to Australia’s top travel program almost exactly 31 years after her first episode, tomorrow at 5.30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
After making her debut on May 14, 1992, Tina joins the show for a special episode, taking viewers on an icy journey aboard Scenic Eclipse while showcasing the pristine beauty of Antarctica and surrounds.
Since appearing on Getaway, Tina has worked in many high-end production roles, with her work nominated for an Emmy Award and a Sundance Film Festival award.
Tina said: “When I got the call to present another episode of Getaway I knew I had to take the chance. The show has always felt like home to me, and makes me reminisce on the early days of my career.
“Viewers can expect to see unbelievable sights from the Falkland Islands and Antarctica from land and onboard the luxury Scenic Eclipse, which I stayed on, and even from the air in the ship’s helicopter.”
This special episode of Getaway follows Tina to Stanley Island, Saunders Island, Azure Island, Gold Harbour and down to Antarctica.
It will showcase the wildlife, explore the tourist activities, and uncover the history of this massive, breathtaking region.
Getaway is proudly supported by its exclusive principal partner, Scenic.

Code for “I needed the job.” The PR lines seem to be so transparent these days.

Getaway is nothing more than a 30min advertorial. It’s not like the days when it aired 7:30 Thursdays as a staple before ER.

It’s always been an advertorial.

There wasn’t as much “sponsored” content in the original iteration in the early to mid 90s. Yes there was some airline and venue payments (eg qantas or Disney) but not as such as only one brand featured week on week. It was a very different format. You’d have to watch and do a minute by minute comparison to substantiate the premise that it was always an advertorial.

Though it is arguable the show would have been axed if not for Scenic’s involvement in recent years - also from the PR release “Getaway is proudly supported by its exclusive principal partner, Scenic.”

A team of climbers set out to find Irvine and his climbing partner George Mallory camera. If that camera could be found, it would rewrite history.

Where do you think the holidays/getaways materialised from? These trips are provided with the purpose of getting viewers/readers to buy. Money probably didn’t change hands for most of them - but it was still converting airtime into essentially advertising. Perhaps now it’s a little more spelled out than it used to be.

THE RESCUE: FREE-TO-AIR
AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
TUESDAY, MAY 16, AT 8:45PM ON CHANNEL 9 & 9NOW
In a free-to-air-first, The Rescue, the documentary that chronicles the incredible mission to extricate 12 boys and their soccer coach from a flooded Thai cave, will premiere on Tuesday, May 16, at 8:45pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
The Rescue shines a light on the high-risk world of cave diving, the astounding courage and compassion of the rescuers, and the humanity of the international community that united in an effort to save the Wild Boars football team.
Directors Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin bring to life the against-all-odds story through exclusive interviews with the cave diving team, graphic re-enactments and never-before-seen videos.
The Rescue gives insider access allowing viewers into the tough conversations, meetings strained by language barriers, and accurate timeline of the high-stakes extrication mission that captivated the world’s attention.
Personal accounts by cave divers John Volanthen, Rick Stanton, Richard Harris and Jason Mallinson, supported by interviews with the emergency response team, seamlessly piece together the incredible feat of strength and perseverance that made this ultra-dangerous mission such a success.
The film rides a rollercoaster of emotions throughout the dramatic 18-day rescue attempt, from agony to elation, in retelling the heartwarming and triumphant story full of bravery, tenacity and endurance.
The Rescue comes from Oscar®, BAFTA and multiple Emmy® Award-winning directing duo E. Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin.
The Rescue is produced by Ventureland’s John Battsek (“One Day in September”, “Searching For Sugar Man”) and P.J. van Sandwijk (“American Dharma”) of Storyteller Productions. For National Geographic Documentary Films, Carolyn Bernstein is executive producer.

Nine have been airing a promo too, saw it during Death Race on 9Go! on Saturday, the start uses clips of Nine News’ journalists from the time and the actual footage, then shots from the doco-movie. Looks decent, this has the potential to rate (say 500k+), however with its lead-in failing to impress and if that only declines, as well as the less than ideal start of 8:45pm or later, probably won’t. Maybe consolidated and bvod will add some.

I wonder what will happen with some of the Ashes coverage, as Wimbledon is on at the same time which means they will overlap? Also there is NRL on so on some days there will be NRL, Wimbledon and Ashes on at the same time.

This would be a major issue in the southern states, which mostly doesn’t broadcast NRL on the main channel unless the Melbourne Storm are playing; in most cases GTV would air it on the main channel.
I think it’ll depend on which out of the cricket, tennis and league Nine thinks will rate higher on the main channel. That’s a decision to be made when the time gets closer I feel.
I’d say they’d put Ashes on main channel (instead of movies), tennis on 9Gem (consistency and so still HD) and NRL 9Go! (which has happened previously). Is there also RU to consider? Maybe 9Life or 9Rush might have to be used LOL.
Next year might be even more difficult, as the Olympics will most likely have two broadcast feeds again. Maybe all of Nine’s channels will have to be utilised, as Seven have had to do before (7flix).

I’m not a huge union follower but if Nine had to juggle four sports at once, 9Rush would need to be used as I feel that could potentially be used for sports overflow, given the theme of the channel.
Likewise, 7flix had to be used to televise an AFL match in Sydney during the rescheduled Tokyo Olympics in 2021, and also televised an AFL Women’s match in the same market last October when the horse racing (Sydney) and Supercars (Gold Coast) were on at the same time.
