The show, originating out of
GTV-9's
Television City studios in
Richmond, Victoria, became one of the most popular talk shows in Australian television history. Its broadcast time-slot varied in its early years, including a brief stint in 1980 when it ran four nights a week, but eventually settled on Mondays and Thursdays at 9:30pm on the Nine Network and many stations across Australia. Some regional and remote commercial stations would receive the program on videotape for delayed broadcast. Alongside
Blue Heelers, The
Don Lane Show is the
most awarded show in the history of the
Logie Awards, with five wins . Lane was inducted into the
Logie Awards Hall of Fame in 2003. ==DVD release==
