Was this a local late night edition for Melbourne or did this go out national?

Really? I thought It was the Melbourne set. Jennifer Adams was based in Melbourne at the time.

Apparently, during an Australian Gold Medal event, 10 broke into regular programming by showing Rove and a Music Video. Was it one of these events?

I am still also wondering if Nine did the same also.

To encourage people to switch over to Seven? I would be very surprised if that happened.

I can’t remember if Rove Live was on at the time, but he might have done something like that as a joke.

it’s been discussed around here recently. Ten did it during “gold medal” events at Sydney 2000. I think someone suggested Nine did similar but I am not sure if that was confirmed.

Given that so many people were watching Seven anyway, I guess Nine and Ten figured that they didn’t really have much left to lose. Nobody was watching them, anyway.

given Seven was the rights holder, all networks would be doing that. Same as with other sports coverage where they have to source footage from the rights holder. Nothing remarkable.

Except if you’re Seven and the Australian Open, they try and source anything but Nine! As has been picked up on and discussed here a little over the years. Though may have (been told to) stop doing it last summer at least.

Think it stemmed from them losing the 45 year rights and their arch-rival poaching them, plus Nine having (or meant to) exclusivity and Seven not having so with cricket, where other networks usually only ever use Fox Cricket’s footage and not Seven’s.

Petty IMO, I don’t see Nine trying to do with with their former equal long-time summer sport in cricket with Seven.
