A bit unrelated, but this program did adapt into Vietnam and broadcasted on VTV3 as “Ơn giời, cậu đây rồi” (this is the Vietnamese translation of the phrase). What makes it honourably mentioned is that despite being more “trashy-ish TV” (especially in its final season), it is argurably one of the longest lasting program of the modern era of Vietnamese television industry, lasting 8 seasons before ending in September last year #myfriends .

Good find, though I wish the OPs on YouTube would leave them in their original aspect ratios.

I don’t think it was. Do you have a source for that?
This was the graphic used in promos/IDs at the time of launch:

ok, well the SBS World News Channel began in 2002 so maybe it only adopted that logo in later years or Austar might have just put the generic SBS World News logo on its website.

That GWN text is almost identical to their last GWN logo, looks cool.

I’m guessing they had a Cairns ID as well.

That’s a version of the ident that I haven’t seen turn up before - thanks for finding! 
They surely would’ve had a Cairns one at the very least, although the tune would’ve still been the same - the distance between them (five hours’ drive or so) means that “the north” is often used to refer to the far north (ie. Cairns, but practically northward from Innisfail). So it’s not entirely incongruent that Townsville is separated from that in the jingle.

I wonder if there is one for QSTV as well? Looking at the TV Guides in the Torres Times (available on Trove) QSTV in its early years relayed NQTV’s programmes. This continued when aggregation started in Queensland when QSTV (which became the QQQ callsign) took largely a Ten schedule as per QTV. There were optouts only for NRL coverage, cricket and Olympic Games. Why did QQQ carry a Ten schedule when instead they could have their own schedule with programming cherry picked from Seven, Nine and Ten so to better serve the communities it covered? But this was rectified when QQQ moved from Ten to Seven on February 1, 1999, and Imparja became available in QQQ’s area shortly after as a composite Nine/Ten schedule.
