More from the vault recorded by me:

Ten Sydney 1991


Ten 5PM Promo 2005


Sandra Sully and Ron Wilson 1993


Bill Clinton Inauguration 1993

I've been looking for the Speed of Life promo for ages! I loved the national version they did - slightly less rushed than this version. Just thought it was so ten when I first saw/heard it. Thanks for posting

No worries, you're very welcome. I loved that promo too, and yep, I thought it was very 'Ten' too. Obviously, I was a massive Ten fan - I loved the way they did news. Same for ITN/Channel 4 when I lived in Britain during primary school. For now, I'll just post one more classic clip of mine, and this one's from Nine.

The World Tonight with Clive Robertson (Nine Network) 1992

As I wrote on the blurb: Nine Network's late night news program with the one-and-only Clive "Robbo" Robertson. Robbo's general approach was to throw out the news script and go off on some pretty epic rants - that may, or may not, have been related to the topic at hand. All summed up perfectly in this short clip!

TVQ Brisbane - BBC, NBC and CNN all together in one promo! (1993)

Been watching some of ABC24's election niught coverage online. Will post some screengrabs later.

ABC: Australia Votes

A selection of studio views and graphics from Nine:

Is it just me or is there something a little Sky News/Sky Sports News-esque about the Nine studio?

The Nine set is actually the set for the Today show, just relit/coloured really well and with the desk swapped out - I didn't recognise it at all at first!

Those were the only two networks I could get a stream from by the way. Seven's didn't work (geoblocked maybe); Ten and Sky News Australia didn't seem to offer one on their websites.

Sky is streamed on Foxtel Go (Foxtel's streaming app) and you don't need to log in to see it. I think it's geoblocked though.


ABC News usually removes the geoblock on the News 24 stream when there's a big breaking story or election. Ten didn't stream anything because they didn't cover the election, apart from showing the leaders' speeches at around midnight.

Australian and Canadian tv sadly blocks most of their news programs from streaming outside their borders. Not really sure why they geoblock pretty much everything. And if its not geoblocked it rarely plays. Strange.
