In 1983, daylight saving time caused problems for RVN-AMV, since NSW and Victoria ended their daylight saving periods at different times. To combat this, RVN's output was recorded, and shown an hour later on AMV for three weeks.

In 2000 Prime ceased local news broadcasts on the Gold Coast, and closed their Moree bureau which provided news for their Tamworth service, whilst in 2001 Prime stopped news services in Newcastle, Wollongong and Canberra, citing poor ratings, and replaced it with Seven News and Today Tonight.^[2] All other services were maintained. Later that year the Australian Broadcasting Authority launched an investigation into the axing of local news programs by Prime and rival Southern Cross Ten. The investigation found that not enough locally produced programs and so the ABA set out new rules forcing all stations in aggregated markets to produce at least 45 minutes of local programming per week.
