It was great that 9 returned broadcasting the primary channel in HD 4 years ago. Back in Sep 2010, Nine dropped its HD channel in favour of the launch of multichannel GEM. 5 years later, I was able to watch cricket and NRL on 9 in HD.
26 November 1976: RTS5A in Riverland, South Australia, is officially opened. The region had a local ABC station for a number of years already. With a local population of 29,000, RTS5A was broadcasting to the one of the smallest (if not, THE smallest) TV markets in the country.

26 November 2006: Damien Leith won season four of Australian Idol, beating Jessica Mauboy in the grand final which was watched over 2.1 million viewers in five major cities. The grand final was broadcast live into Northern Territory for the first time, to allow local fans to vote for Mauboy during the show. At that time, Darwin station NTD was affiliated with Nine having dropped all Channel Ten programs a couple of years earlier. Public pressure forced NTD to show Australian Idol into the Top End. (Imparja aired the finale in the rest of NT)
