What do you do when you have a children's channel with no commercials? Fill up the space between shows with a quirky program to entertain your younger audience in the interval, and feature younger celebrities that will appeal to them. Thus, Studio 3 was created. It is described on it's home, Australia's only free-to-air children's channel, as 'the hub for everything that happens on ABC3 - the place where it all comes together.'Hosted by Kayne Tremills and Amberley Lobo, known as 'Kayne and Ambo' (although they were recently joined by James Elmer and then Olivia Phyland and Alfie Gledhill), it's an eclectic mix of audience participation, celebrity interviews, and odd skits. One recurring feature is a series of mini-episodes starring the hosts, called Bitcom. Bitcom proved popular enough to get it's own 40-min special, Bitcom and the Oblivion Ray.

Baseball Episode: The yearly Australia Day 'Smackdown' specials featuring all the current hosts from ABC3's shows, none of which actually feature baseball. They have included the Cricket Smackdown (2011), the Tennis Smackdown (2012), and the Soccer Smackdown (2013).

We Hardly Knew Ye: Alfie Gledhill and Khaled Khalafalla did not stay very long on the show, both for fairly understandable reasons: Alfie went onto other acting jobs, while Khaled felt his comedic talents were rather restricted on the show.

Running Gag: Too many to count. Particularly prevalent one is Ambo's vain crush on the oblivious Scotty, which was addressed in the 2013 Smackdown when Nicole asks: "Is that still going on?" But special mention goes to the ending of every Australia Day Special which results in the house of one of Kayne's relatives exploding thanks to Bajo in some way.
