Controversies during Logies night

I'm sorry she's not here. She's sorry she's not here, Jana, as she always does, put the program first. I know she regret's she's not here. It's a shame.

—said Peter Meakin while accepting Wendy's Gold Logie.

The 1992 Logie Awards ended with a nightmare when A Current Affair host Jana Wendt was not present to accept her Gold Logie. Her absence was explained to be due to her requiring to stay in the Sydney-based studios after the end of A Current Affair for an extended period to be able to cover any late breaking stories for time zones that would normally get ACA on a delay. TV Week claimed that they knew about a week in advance, two weeks after Wendt had happily posed with her fellow Gold Logie nominees for a TV Week photo shoot, that she may be missing from the awards presentation. Nine Network executives were said to be able to work around the challenges of ACA's production schedule if TV Week could assure them that Wendt was going to win the Gold. TV Week chose not to disclose that information to Nine even in the strictest of confidence. Even the offer of a specially arranged flight to get Wendt from Sydney to Melbourne after ACA in time to witness the announcement of the Gold Logie winner was not enough to sway Nine's executives. Wendt's Gold Logie was ultimately accepted by Nine's head of current affairs at the time, Peter Meakin.
