Saturday Nick TV (commonly referred to as sn:tv) was a weekend morning show aired on Nickelodeon Australia from 10am to 2pm on Saturday. It was produced by Burberry Productions and shot in Melbourne. It was started with the help of Britney Spears.
The first season of sn:tv saw the introduction of Dave Lawson, a once popular Nickelodeon personality. Dave was in both seasons of sn:tv, and, after the show's, cancellation, moved on to host 'Sarvo temporarily with other first season sn:tv hosts "Kambo" (David Kambouris) and "Nat" (Natalie Garonzi), then moved on to host Camp Orange, a Nickelodeon reality television show for kids, and then back to Sarvo with James Kerley(who began hosting 'Sarvo in 2004, after winning the Sarvote competition with Tony "T-Bone" Brockman) due to the leaving of Tony "T-Bone" Brockman. He hosted the Nickelodeon Australian Kids' Choice Awards in 2006 with James Kerley and Sophie Monk. Dave left Sarvo, and the Nickelodeon network on 23 February 2007.
Season One: Natalie Garonzi, Dave Lawson and David "Kambo" Kambouris.
Season Two: Dave Lawson, Jesse Tobin and Emily Perry.
The show was the Australian version of the highly popular SMTV Live in the UK hosted originally by Ant & Dec and Cat Deeley. In both seasons, the show began at 10am, (following "Double Up", an early morning block of back to back Nicktoons on Saturday and Sunday Mornings) with a short introduction, and then premiere of a new episode of a popular Nickelodeon show. (Shows such as SpongeBob SquarePants, The Fairly OddParents, Saved By The Bell and in Season One CatDog were generally shown). Then various segments and skits would be performed. In Season One, celebrities in Australia (such as Britney Spears, who helped launch the show) would be featured in the "Strip Search" where Natalie Garonzi would ask as many questions in one minute as she could such as "Cats Or Dogs?", "Peanut Butter or Vegemite", and "Shower or Bath". During the show, four half-hour Nickelodeon shows would be played. "Mates", a panto-style sketch, was always the last segment (as the outro, while the credits were displayed) in the first and second season.
