The debut of this version of CONTACT! occurred on Friday, October 22, 1999. It began life as a three-hour shift, and usually bore some relation to the original Wednesday night show at 2RDJ-FM, Burwood, Sydney (which itself terminated production on February 27, 2002). It's moved around quite a bit since then. On March 9, 2000, the programme moved from Friday nights to an early Friday morning shift. Beginning with show #71, June 8, 2001, the programme shrank by an hour to run from 1-3am AEST on Friday mornings, and was now recorded on DAT instead of long-play videotape. In yet further reshuffles of programme times at the Network, CONTACT! moved again on May 8, 2002 from the Friday morning timeslot it had occupied for the previous two years, again in October 2003 to Wednesday mornings from 12.06-2.00am AEST, and on April 1 2004 was shrunk to a one-hour format and moved yet again to Thursday nights at 11.00pm. A further change came with the move from DAT to MiniDisc on May 6, 2004. So now you know.
