To ease the workload on Graham Kennedy, he was invited by GTV9 to host a Friday night version of ''In Melbourne Tonight'' from 1963 to 1965.〔 This was stylistically different from that of Kennedy's IMT – "dyed-in-the-wool IMT viewers switched off in their droves" 〔Ferrier, N. ''op.cit.'' p 49〕 – ''Noel Ferrier's In Melbourne Tonight'' (as it was known) attracted a separate and loyal audience, resulting in a Logie for Most Popular Program in Victoria in 1964.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1964 - TV Week Logie Awards Special Coverage - Past Winners - Yahoo7 )〕〔〔Ferrier, N.
