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 canât remember if Rove Live was on at the time, but he might have done something like that as a joke.

itâs been discussed around here recently. Ten did it during âgold medalâ 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 didnât 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 youâre 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 Cricketâs footage and not Sevenâs.
Petty IMO, I donât see Nine trying to do with with their former equal long-time summer sport in cricket with Seven.

And, finally some evidence that 10 were planning these two weeks before the Olympics.

I guess it wasnât a bad idea as it may have got them viewers who otherwise would have kept it on 7 in fear of missing a key event.

Thanks. Did they actually go through with this? How would they keep to schedules?
Surely someone has recorded âThe Gapâ.

Would love to know how it went and maybe Seven could do something similar during Brisbane 2032 to encourage itâs viewers to see the event only on Nine.

I feel like it would have been at least a tad bit more known especially with hardcore media nerds.
My guess is that itâs a made-up rumour from 2000 and Connar is desperate to turn a fantasy into a reality.

I donât recall any specific segment but I am pretty sure it actually happened. You got to remember that so many sets were tuned to Seven during those two weeks that nothing Nine or Ten did were going to put a dent in that. They literally had nothing to lose.
