Nine News and Current Affairs

Hello. You might need to be more specific, e.g. which city’s Channel 9 news are you after?

You could also contact the National Film and Sound Archive in Canberra, or the Australian Television Archive https://www.austvarchive.com/, or the TV station that had the original bulletin.

Hi.
It would be South Australia at around 5:30pm. As they had the Australia vs Pakistan 2nd ODI final to be broadcast at 5:30 but the news which showcase a lot of the Port Adelaide v Geelong exhibition match from 5:30 to 6pm.
I’m specifically after those highlights from the footy that evening.

Never knew Ray Martin presented ACA prior to January of 1994 when he officially began that position.

BTW, I have later episodes (coming soon) of ACA and Ray Martin still struggles to read an autocue in those.

Nostalgic piece of the once two long-running commercial current affairs programs, when it had got really heated, also pinpointing where things started to go wrong for Ray Martin’s second outing helming ACA and his own slow demise at Nine.

Some great ratings data in here too!

I find it interesting networks got away with abbreviating place names, but don’t really do it these days.
