With the closing of the Harbourside Shopping Centre in Sydney’s Darling Harbour got me recalling an OB of Steve Vizard’s Tonight Live show there I watched as a kid. I honestly can’t recall when it was. I do remember Steve Vizard didn’t host it but. It was possibly a newsreader called Darren who was on 7 during the late 80’s/ early 90’s.
The show took place in the atrium but that’s about all I recall.
Does anyone else recall this show and have more details?
This is random.
Managed to find a Tattslotto draw malfunction broadcast live on TV.

There’s quite a few of these to be found out there, you’re lucky to have got one on tape.
The one I remember is when the Oz Lotto machine wouldn’t stop drawing numbers, late 90s / early 2000s.
I remember one draw here in NSW where the female presenter called out the final number incorrectly… can’t remember who or exactly when, but I think they were taken off air because of it…
I remember the machine malfunctioning halfway through during one of the drawings and they switched to the backup machine. Seemed pretty seamless, but I remember the government officials being quite animated during proceedings.
Sam Newman and Lou Richards used to have a footy tipping segment on Ch 9 News.
Not sure where to put this one but the Channel Islands Surfboards logo looks a little too familiar to me.
That’s the NQTV/QSTV logo!

Was looking for a photo of my cat today and discovered this on an old hard drive. Did a dirty upscale and uploaded to YouTube in correct aspect ratio complete with ads.
The hexagons actually remind me of the former Channel TV (Channel Islands) logo.
Yes it is ,I remember it well

I assume this 60 Minutes promo is from just after the 1982 Logies based on the Ernest Borgnine clip and them praising themselves as the best. I quite like the electronic ident after it too - pretty cool

Promo for premiere of Micallef Tonight
The only show that I can remember that was renewed for another season and then axed in the same week. Was a very bizarre finish to the show, I did enjoy that one with Shaun on his High Horse and other segments. In the last episode aired he did call the Channel Nine switchboard to put in a complaint about his own show. Can’t remember what it was for but I did have all the episodes somewhere, I reckon they’re on a random hard drive I have lying around.
As everyone knows, the Alan Jones skit blew it personally with Packer. In saying that with the way Nine operated back in those days I can’t imagine it would have survived more than a second season.
Nine couldn’t handle Shaun’s style of comedy.
