Studio 3 is a television 'wrapper' program which was launched with the arrival of the new Australian children's channel ABC3 in 2009, hence the title Studio 3. The show is hosted by Kayne Tremills, Amberley Lobo, James Elmer, who joined the cast in April 2011, as well as Alfie Gledhill and Olivia "Liv" Phyland who joined the cast in December 2011. The original two hosts also presented Countdown To 3. Alfie left Studio 3 in September. Egyptian Comedian Khaled Khalafalla joined the hosts in late 2012 filling in for Alfie, but later left around March 2013 due to feeling his comedic nature was too restricted on a children's show.

Following instigation of new hosts Liv and Alfie in early 2012, Kayne is often absent from the show for month long periods, usually to film new separate TV shows.

Rollercoaster is a children's television show which was broadcast by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation from between February 2005 and January 2010. Hosted by Elliot Spencer, it was aimed at an older audience than that for ABC For Kids.

Rollercoaster was a "wrapper" show, usually incorporating three to five externally produced animated programs of varying lengths, which were interspersed with locally-produced studio or location segments hosted by Spencer. It was aimed at older children and young teenaged audiences. The host, Elliot Spencer was usually the sole presenter, dressing up as characters for short sketches sometimes; on occasion members of Rollercoaster crew also appear in gags and sketches. The show also included regular features jointly presented by Spencer and Ruben Meerman, "The Surfing Scientist".

Rollercoaster followed a well-established format for Australian children's television. In order to comply with government-mandated Australian content regulations, local broadcasters have traditionally engaged a local presenter or team of presenters to "wrap" pre-produced segments such as cartoons. These shows offer a relatively inexpensive means of filling children's viewing times on Australian TV—the wrapper segments are generally made with a small crew and feature minimal production values; in the early days of Australian television the wrapper segments were performed live, although today they are now usually pre-recorded. The outsourced content is often purchased at relatively low cost, and for many decades Australian networks have been offered package-deal rates by American production houses and networks, as an incentive to purchase bundled content.

Welcome to Champignon, a town of wacky world championships every day. From the Shopping Trolley with One Wonky Wheel races to the Flat Pack Furniture Assembly World Championships, our three heroes Spongo, Fuzz and Jalapeña are always up to something completely bonkers. Spongo is a 15-year-old adrenaline-junkie who would rather lose in a spectacular way than take an easy win. Fuzz counteracts him - he'd prefer to sit and meticulously plan out exactly how they'll take home gold. Jalapeña is an aspiring chef and a junk-tech genius with a mad-inventor spark. Trying to thwart their every move is the villainous spoiled rich kid Taylor la Strange, and her cousin sidekick, Dangles. Taylor is a clever engineer, and always has Dangles to do her bidding, often with hilarious results. Every episode brings a mad new adventure, with Spongo, Fuzz and Jalapeña taking on a new world championship and embarking on anarchic, surreal and tasty adventures.
