As SBS have stated that Kanal 9 will not broadcast any news at all, they could possibly violate the license.

This was followed by an Oscars nights containing the movie The Pianist up to the Academy Awards at 2am.

In the first weeks the channel had ratings over 100,000 viewers several times thanks to the broadcasts of ice hockey games.

On 2 June 2007 Kanal 9 broadcast a UEFA Euro 2008 Qualifying game between Denmark and Sweden.

The second half, that contained the fan attack, had a rating of 865,000, then the highest ever for a channel not belonging to the big five.
