Episode 11 - The Footy Show begins - a podcast by Bad Producer Productions | The Greatest Season That Was Presents
from 2018-08-26T20:00
On the Sunday of Round 3 of the 1993 AFL season, Channel Nine quietly slipped a new TV show into its schedule – the not so creatively titled ‘The Footy Show’.
Little did we know it was to set off a chain of events that would lead to the media explosion around AFL that has gathered momentum over the ensuing 25 years.
Suddenly Channel Seven had a competitor and it effectively doubled the amount of non-match TV programs about footy.
Harvey Silver was charged with putting together the original Sunday morning Footy Show and its success through 1993 sparked a TV war that would last more than a decade. A hungry footy public lapped up this new marriage of TV, footy and entertainment.
Harvey joins us to discuss the Greatest Season That Was: 1993.
The Greatest Season That Was: 93 documents our contention that in 1993, footy was never better. Hosted by Adam Collins, Dan Brettig and Shannon Gill, this series is an in-depth exploration of one amazing season.
The Greatest Season That Was: 93 is produced by Jay Mueller and edited by Thom Lion. Check out Bad Producer Productions for more podcasts.
