Thanks for tidying that up and shifting the CNNNN piece lower. I can't say I've ever heard him called Toorak Eddie. Is this commonly used? Grimhim 20:54, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

message: According to the PBL website, it doesn't just control the Nine Network (which it could if it owned 51% of it); it owns it. Grimhim 07:10, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Public speculation 

message: Is this thing about autism real, or is it a surruptitious vandalization?  Also, PBL owns 45% of Channel 9, which gives it effective control.  But it doesn't own it outright.  You can still buy Channel 9 shares! :) - Richardcavell 10:58, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've deleted the autism reference. I can't find anything published anywhere that suggests this. It sounds mischievous. And I'm baffled by your view, Richardcavell, that PBL is a minority shareholder in Nine but somehow "effectively controls" it. The network is 100% owned by PBL. PBL appoints its CEO. Nine is not a listed company. Unless you're aware of something that's so far eluded the ASX or James Packer, the only way to buy shares in Nine is by buying shares in PBL. But all means point me to a good source if you can find evidence to the contrary. Grimhim 03:16, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  You're right.  Nine was delisted on 9/11/1994.  *Bangs Head*.  - Richardcavell 09:28, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

message: The article is incorrect.  WWTBAM had a different host initially - an older man with grey hair.  I clearly remember watching the first episodes in 1999 and it had a different host.  Davez621 13:16, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

message: When has the colloquial 'bone' EVER meant sack?
Whilst the intention may have been to fire Rowe, the statement would most commonly be interpreted as a sexual reference. --Stickyweb 08:10, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I think it's fine to say "Channel 9", but when shortening it to just the number, it should be Nine, not 9.  I've made some edits accordingly.  JackofOz 01:56, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Eddie McGuire is the outgoing CEO of Nine, he has not yet left the position and will not officially step down until june 30, 2007.

message: You might be interested to find that the match in question took place in 2002, and not 2003 as  was stated in the article (edited). This can be told due to the fact that the Port Adelaide players are wearing the teal strip which the Power opted to don for the clash (round nine, 2002, Friday Night Football, Collingwood gave the Power an early start before clawing to within a kick, Anthony Rocca narrowly failing to tie the scores with half a minute remaining).
Is it actually a controversy? Labelled an 'embarassing error', wouldn't all sporting commentators have had moments like these? One to ponder...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnson 26 (talk • contribs) 11:34, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

message: From reading the discussion page I suspect a lot of "Eddie haters" are desperate to add their
two cents on the article, and lets be honest they are not Collingwood Magpie supporters. Can I suggest to the rightful author of the Eddie McGuire article to actually create a new Section called "Eddie McGuire Football Controversies" to the affect. I think this would satisfy most haters as their would be frenzy of additions and edits. The recent Collingwood Grand Final win will certainly add further interest to this proposed section.

thread_title:  New Section for "eddie haters" 

message: I have removed the words 'business entrepreneur' and replaced them with game show host. If anyone knows any business he has started please add it, otherwise this statement is untrue. Although he was CEO of Channel 9 this does not make him a entrepreneur. Also I put sports journalist, instead of just 'journalist' as I think this more accurately reflected what he has done.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.110.218.57 (talk) 07:46, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  He was sacked as CEO of Channel 9. Maybe that makes him a "Failed Business entrepreneur"?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.75.38.64 (talk) 11:01, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
