AVESCO derided anything pre-them for almost a decade. It was only when Channel 7 secured the rights from 2007 that old footage started to get used again alongside the “retro” element which started becoming popular with sports in the mid-late 2000s, when all of a sudden things pre-1997 started to get celebrated.
Perhaps there was an agenda to push back in the early days of AVESCO?

So they are two completely different things, but you want to combine them when it comes to the history?
