looks like a fundraiser after the Black Saturday bushfires, with Tracy Grimshaw and Tony Jones paying tribute to their former colleague Brian Naylor.

Stumbled across this “Bruce Paige Remembers” segment from circa 2011. Going by the date in which this was published, this must’ve been during Heather Foord’s final weeks at Nine before she retired from news presenting altogether.
Could’ve been one of the few times that Paige and Foord were seen together on the set that existed between 2009 and 2017. This begs the question - if Nine had the opportunity, would they have paired Paige and Foord, who enjoyed so much ratings success on weeknights between 1995/6 and 2008, on weekends?
It must be remembered, Paige and Foord were broken up in the first place as QTQ overhauled its presenting roster in the wake of a second consecutive year coming second to 7NEWS Brisbane (which, in 2008, won all 40 ratings weeks in that market).

Richard Wilkins presenting Sydney NYE almost 20 years ago in 2003 for Channel 9 who were the original broadcasters of the celebrations from 1997-2005 and again from 2009-2012. 10 took over from 2006-2008 and the ABC has broadcasted every edition since 2013.

First ever broadcast of a Sydney NYE Fireworks show in 1996 on Channel 9 hosted by Richard Wilkins and Catriona Rowntree. The 9PM display was the main show before a smaller midnight display and a “Still the One” promo to welcome in 1997.

I think it was an SES-8 jingle or ID? I will post the full video later this morning
Actually, the video wasn’t removed. Maybe it is an issue with your computer not playing it
I’ve seen that several times great Jingle but would love to see a better quality version should one exist.
its a MP4 conversion from a very primitive RM file i got over 20 years ago - whoever had the VHS tape that the RM file came from is unknown to me.
Firefox can’t handle it, Chrome seems to (sometimes that happens here).
If you haven’t seen the link above, it was one of SES-8’s “Town of the Month” jingles/idents, circa mid-1990s (the one posted above relating to Port MacDonnell). There are a few of those examples on YouTube but they had a few different versions of the jingle, so a welcome contribution still.
This Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? opener from 2004 has similar elements to the aforementioned Human Nature music video, in the sense that there’s a maze and electrodes.

Plus you could walk away with any amount that you had already won, unlike on Hot Seat wherein any values were pointless in the sense that you couldn’t walk away with (for example) $10,000 after you had correctly answered question 10.
The limited time for each question on that format meant contestants were sometimes rushed into giving an answer and then getting it wrong.
