Footy Classified but not Confidential

Nine has made a late name change to its new Monday night AFL discussion show, now entitled Footy Classified.

Early this month it was plugged as Footy Confidential with Caroline Wilson, Wayne Carey Garry Lyon and Craig Hutchison.

But then Foxtel went and announced Confidential TV, a TV gossip version of the syndicated News Ltd. newspaper column.

Suddenly Nine, which has a cushy Foxtel deal co-sponsoring The Footy Show, has brought a new name off the bench.

The show to premiere on Monday April 2 at 10:35 promises:

Football is set for a shake-up when the games biggest names and agenda-setters lock horns on Footy Classified for a provocative look at the AFL. One of the game's greatest players, Wayne Carey, joins football writer Caroline Wilson, commentator Garry Lyon and Nine’s new AFL editor, Craig Hutchison to tackle the sport's burning issues.

NB: Unlikely to air in "non-AFL states."

Wanted: Historic photos

The History Channel is calling for your family photos which have captured moments in Australia's past.

The programme is called Photos for the Future.

Do you have a photo somewhere that illustrates a past incident, a person of significance, or just reminds us of something we had long forgotten?

You can send your photos along with a personal story to:

The History Channel is inviting viewers to share their past for the future with the launch of its PHOTOS FOR THE FUTURE campaign – an exciting initiative which will help build an archive of historic photos and stories for future generations.

The History Channel believes that in every home there is at least one photograph that holds not just personal, but also historical relevance. Perhaps a relative was present at an historic event. Perhaps you appear in a photograph with someone famous. Or maybe there’s a recent photo of your family visiting a building or monument that holds historical significance.

The History Channel is inviting viewers to share these photos and stories through PHOTOS FOR THE FUTURE, which will showcase the personal history of people throughout Australia.

The photographs and their accounts will be posted on The History Channel website in the Photos for the Future e-gallery. The History Channel may also feature a selection of the submitted photos as part of an accompanying on-air interstitial campaign to be broadcast on the channel.

To send your photos and story, logon to www.historychannel.com.au and follow the simple instructions to upload your photograph and submit your story.

For more information on PHOTOS FOR THE FUTURE check out The History Channel website at www.historychannel.com.au

Larry for Brunch

It looks like Larry Emdur is to co-host Seven's new morning chat show, Brunch.

Emdur has been a fill-in host for Weekend Sunrise, which is produced by the same team.

Brunch is designed to keep the big audience Seven has until 9am, who then head off to Mornings with Kerri-Anne and 9am with David & Kim.

Emdur sure gets around. He's recently been at TEN on Celebrity Dog School - the less said about that one the better. Before that it was Wheel of Fortune, Price is Right, Starstruck and even Nine's Cash Bonanza shot at Dreamworld. Bless.

And don't think we don't remember that retirement claim he made, either! Read more...
