And Sydney didn’t use that set. Plus it says Sunday in the opening graphics, plus Tracy didn’t present the Sydney bulletin (though not sure if she ever filled in).

That would’ve also been the Perth set, as they had a different background as opposed to the Sydney set, plus only one half of the desk was used (the other half would’ve been used for Sports Tonight).

I presume this is a Sydney promo from July 1990?

Fond memories of Peter Luck’s time on 10 (Inside Edition / Hinch). I think they could revive Inside Edition inline with the current CBS version.

Was Ten trying to do an Australian version of the US program of the same name?
Here’s a full ep (there’s most stuff on Youtube)…
Yes from memory it was around the same time as the nightly Hinch and the weekly Hard Copy in Australia, when 10 were doing the US tabloid thing once a week (which I think it could revisit post 8.30pm). I think Bill O’Reilly originally hosted it for Australian audiences then Peter Luck took over? Or perhaps we aired the US version separately, but we did get both hosts at some stage.

Ten was really on a roll with those tabloid/US shows. Wasn’t there also one called The Friday FilesI don’t remember it really well but vaguely recall it was a repackage of stories from the American (Fox) version of A Current Affair, which obviously Ten couldn’t use that name here.

I vaguely remember something tied in with the American ACA. Was Steve Dunleavy involved?
I thought this style of show suited the Fox-inspired 10 at the time, together with Cops etc.

I remember Craig hosting the early news. I think it aired before the rebooted GMA by the looks of the graphic and set?
Before the Mike Hammond FMTV version of GMA? Still think that was ahead of its time.

It really was, but unfortunately didn’t click (or have time to, or coming off the KAK years just alienated viewers perhaps?). I remember watching it for a while then turning over to Today and noticing how much slower pace Today was. GMA 2.0 was fast facts and fun. More like a radio show.
We didn’t see another show take Today head-on until Sunrise 10 years later, which had many of the elements of GMA 2.0.
