Saturday Night Footy

In Australia, Saturday Night Footy is the broadcasting of Australian Football League Saturday night matches on television. Saturday Night Footy is generally considered to be one of the biggest stages and generates publicity for the clubs involved. It is for this reason that clubs involved generally want to perform at their best to avoid large-scale criticism from the media. The Seven Network have the broadcast rights for the AFL starting from the 2012 season. The commentary team is led by Brian Taylor, Cameron Ling, Luke Darcy and Matthew Richardson. Samantha Lane provides reports during the match and also features as a reporter during the pre-match segment, which runs one hour before the feature match is played. Dr. Peter Larkins provides injury updates during and after the feature match. The show begins at 6:30pm every Saturday night, immediately following Seven News in most markets. The pre-match show is anchored by Taylor and runs for one hour in the lead-up to the feature match. This portion of the telecase includes, among others, segments such as: interviews with players and the coaches involved in the feature match, going behind-the-scenes of a team's training session, and featuring various celebrity guests. Rachael Finch and Lleyton Hewitt, among others, have featured as guests on Saturday Night Footy. One of the more popular segments of the pre-match show is the "lie-detector test", in which either a member of the commentary team, or a player from one of the clubs that are to feature in the AFL match, is asked an array of questions relating to many topics such as the happenings at their club, or their personal lives.

Each season follows the lives of a young group of students at Solar Blue, a high-performance surf academy where several lucky 16-year-olds are selected for a 12-month-long surfing program on Sydney's northern beaches. There are three series in Blue Water High. The first two series were screened in 2005 and 2006 and the producers did not intend to create a third series. However, due to popular demand by fans, they relented and made one more series with only Kate Bell returning in a main role. Series three ended with the closure of Solar Blue, indicating that the show would most likely not continue.
