 **Distributor:** Sam Wilkes Radio Network (Episode 1 - 8)

Nighttown is a TV series that involves Sam, Lyn or both with or without their other family members going to areas at night. The series is expected to follow a similar format to Midnight Outings, albeit cheaper to make each episode as compared to make Midnight Outings.

The first 4 episodes involved Sam and Lyn going to 7-11, while the 5th episode consisted of a one-off night shopping session at Coles. The first episode consisted of the two going to Logan Central's 7-11 while the next 3 episodes consisted of these two going to the Woodridge 7-11 and the 5th episode consisted of these two going to the Logan Central's Coles Supermarket which then reverted to the original format on the 6th episode when these two then returned to Logan Central's 7-11.

This show didn't often air because of the tight budget that Sam Wilkes Jr. and Lyn are on since the cancellation of Midnight Outings and many others.

On 14th April 2018, Sam Wilkes Radio Network issued a warning of legal action against Sam Wilkes Holahan should any new shows be created by unauthorized persons and stated if Sam Wilkes Holahan did not cancel Nighttown, he would be sued. So, Holahan's son decided to cancel the series after its 4th episode which aired 15 April 2018. 3 months later, the show aired a special episode. In the episode, Sam Jr. said that after Sam Wilkes Holahan bought the network and Radio stations, he fired the workers that issued the legal action warning against him and re-instated the Nighttown show, which began broadcasting again on 17 July 2018, with a special episode. The next episode broadcasted 13 November 2018.

Nighttown was low activity because of the current schedule of The Breakfast Show and The Final Hour as well as the low pension pay. On top of that, there are dangers everywhere. One of these examples is team gangs explaining the notoriously high crime rate. The last two episodes were planned for 2020 but was cancelled. This show won't air often because of the reasons listed above.

As of November 2020, 9 episodes have broadcasted.

On July 2, Lyn and Sam Jr. announced that the next episode of Nighttown will likely broadcast in mid-July 2019. Episode 8 aired on 16 July 2019. This meant that the last two will broadcast in 2020 (only episode 9 was broadcasted in 2020). The show ended because Woodridge was too dangerous outdoors at night.

Nighttown was officially axed in June 2020 after the last potential host had moved to Russell Island.

The ninth episode unexpectedly broadcast on 17 November which included night imagery of the Southern Moreton Bay.

In February 2022, it was announced that another episode would broadcast at 6:30pm on April 30, coinciding with Sam's first ever concert with one of Austin's other childhood bands, The OG Wiggles. This ends Nighttown after 4 years. Although he had seen the concert, the episode was not recorded or broadcasted.
