It's a Knockout Day June 26th 2000

Operation: Bring Back IAK



I have decided that 26th June 2000 will be the inaugural 'It's a Knockout Day'. Why that date, you ask? Well, to be honest there are no better reasons than:

  • I don't know of any dates significant to IAK other than 'the 80's'
  • It is coming up soon
  • I think that the level of interest in IAK has been stirred up through the web site is sufficient to allow a strong message to be sent to Channel 10
  • It is my birthday (I'm indulging in my pre-eminent megalomania)

    What's It About?

    It's a Knockout Day provides an opportunity to remember the greatness of IAK and share with your friends and family memories of the show. You can even visit The It's a Knockout Web, if you wish! It is also the day on which IAK fans unite to bring IAK back to TV!

    Bringing IAK Back

    This is what YOU can do to bring IAK back (if you are serious, that is):

  • Get friends and family to help (I suggest five or more people, but don't feel guilty if you only get three or so!). Feel free to use Internet friends.
  • Each write a snail-mail letter i.e. pen & paper (NOT e-mail) to EACH of the following addresses, irrespective of where you live:

    Programming
    TEN Sydney
    1 Saunders Street
    Pyrmont NSW 2009

    Programming
    TVQ-10 Brisbane
    Sir Samuel Griffith Drive
    Mt Coot-tha QLD 4066

    Programming
    NEW-10 Perth
    Cottonwood Crescent
    Dianella Heights WA 6062

    Programming
    ATV-10 Melbourne
    Como Centre
    620 Chapel Street
    South Yarra VIC 3141

    Programming
    ADS-10 Adelaide
    125 Strangways Terrace
    North Adelaide SA 5006


  • In your letters, politely ask for IAK to be put back on TV
  • Do not request any other shows or anything else
  • Do not mention this web site
  • Once you have sent the letter, e-mail me to advise me of this (so I can get an idea of how many letters are required for future lobbies, if required)
  • Do it on June 26th, so we can hit them with a barrage of mail. If circumstances prevent you from writing on that day, you can send the letter on the following few days.
  • If you only write one letter, write it to Melbourne, I think they are the HQ. There are also some affiliate stations, see http://www.ten.com.au/tenstations.asp
  • Cross your fingers.
