@MicMogul Also when this decision was made by 7 to go with 5pm news, it cast a shadow on the BTQ-made Family Feud that dominated 5pm since the early 90's. It also spawned many unsuccessful gameshow formats, for the 5pm slot (after the national 5pm bulletin failed) by 7, e.g. Hot Streak and the 1990's revival of Concentration.

Wheel was moved to 5pm, when the sped up version of Deal or No Deal debuted at 5:30 in 2004. 2 years later, Wheel was axed by 7, and MASH reruns have run 5pm ever since.

Perhaps you should remind Max & Rob of that fact of never following through?

The advent of the 4:30 news bulletin in 2003 in my opinion killed all the momentum Ten had.

Had 7 and Nine not gone into 4:30 news, I believe Ten would be beating Nine nationally now in news (by taking advantage of Nine's woes), not Seven.

That Local Edition decision is a jinx for BTQ, as it promised a another go at local product, but never followed through.

Peter Ford must've felt jinxed at 5 pm. Later he was on BTQ-7 doing Local Edition, also a 1hr show that was supposed be the cure-all to beat both Ten News and QTQ's Extra.

It ran post 2000 olympics and was gone by Christmas.

Seven's News at Five was presented by Naomi Robson and Peter Ford. It was a lame attempt to get viewers to stop watching TEN's First @ Five Newshour.
