Well possums are supposed to be big:
The Brushtail Possum’s head and body length is 35 -55 cm and its tail is from 25 - 40 cm long. It weighs between 1.2 - 4.5 kg. The Brushtail Possum is a medium-sized marsupial that lives in trees.
Hopefully it knows how to attack dogs when someone else joins it in the TV mascot cloud in the sky. 
Also, Prime Possum is a scrub.

Random Wikipedia fact. Between 2003-2004 Nine won 77 of 80 weeks and Ten win the other 3. Presumably this was due to AFL rights being split between the two.
Is there any fact to the ratings wins quoted by Wikipedia?

Oh I know, just a shame that so many editors are keen to put their own spin on things without sources.

Yesterdays’ news re sale of NBN inspired me to scan the articles from the ‘Newcastle Herald’ back in May 2007 when NBN was sold to PBL (Nine).
Quite a lot of coverage, a lot of fears raised below eg. local news, Big Dog as raised in the following articles were unfounded back then.

I remember that cartoon…poor Big Dog. I bet his face would be even droopier after this week’s news.
This one is creepy. Imagine Jamie in the dog suit.
I don’t think they had to, I think they wanted the punters to think - ooh, they’re part of the whole NBN group, backed by those chemists, they must be good.

I bet some NineNBN staff still wished they were part of SP Group, they’d be up for some pretty strong stuff after this weeks’ news.
It’s a classic, isn’t it.. one of the best TV related cartoon drawings I’ve seen (at least for regional TV).

I think by then they had pretty much gotten out of the med game by that point. And even then, there are laws against making the kind of drugs they’d need after this week.
