My Kid's a Star is an Australian reality/talent show program based on the American series I Know My Kid's a Star. Hosted by Cameron Daddo, it started airing during prime time on the Nine Network from 9 April 2008 in a 60 minute format. Due to low ratings, it later moved to a weekend timeslot, where it aired in a 30 minute format. The show follows 10 child performers and their parents on a six week talent boot camp that will see one of the performers leave with $50,000 and the title of "child star". The young performers will be judged by a three member panel which includes former The Partridge Family actor Danny Bonaduce, who also appeared in the original American version. The show has raised some controversy for focusing on the antics of the stage parents rather than the young performers, and promos of the show prominently featured this aspect of the program. Some of the parents of the contestants have claimed that Nine misled them over the content of the show.

Kommotion was a popular Australian "Top 40" pop music TV show of the mid-1960s, which premiered in December 1964. The program was hosted by popular disc jockey Ken Sparkes, who was one of the main presenters at Melbourne pop radio station 3UZ. In 1965, after the end of his previous series, Teen Scene, pop singer Johnny Chester became the associate producer of the program. It was produced by the Willard King organisation for Melbourne TV station ATV-0 and was pre-recorded on videotape at the station's Nunawading studio. It was originally seen only in Melbourne, but was later relayed to interstate stations in the newly-formed 0-10 Network as they came on line during 1965–66. The Kommotion format was a fast-paced, teenage Top 40 pop music show. It was originally shown in daily half-hour episodes, Monday–Friday at 5.30 pm; an additional one-hour special on Sundays was added later in the run of the series. In August 1964 Channel 0 premiered its first pop TV program, The Go!! Show. It proved such a ratings success that its original 13-episode contract was extended to 39 episodes after only seven weeks on air, and this encouraged Channel 0 to capitalise on this success by commissioning a second series that would appeal to younger viewers. Both programs showcased the emerging 'beat' pop trend, and provided an energetic alternative to the mainstream family-oriented variety format of the rival Nine Network program, Bandstand. In combination, Go!! and Kommotion gave the nascent 0-10 Network an unbeatable lead in pop TV programming, with The Go!! Show alone regularly pulling in over 400,000 teenage viewers every week.
