==Top Fifty/Broadcasts on other ABC TV channels== Prior to 2006, from around 5:00am or 6:00am to 9:00am on Saturday mornings and 4{{nbsp}}am to the end of show on Sundays, ''Rage'' would switch to the weekly Top Fifty from the [[Australian Recording Industry Association|ARIA]] singles chart. ''Rage'' aired the Top 60 chart from 1 September 1990 to 9 March 1991, and from 8 June 1991 to 6 March 1994. If a video from the Top Fifty was unavailable, unsuitable or non-existent, it would be replaced by a splash screen of the ''Rage'' logo with the position attained in the charts for the week, the artist's name and the track's title. Also, the videos shown until 6:00am were uncensored (after this, the rating was set back to G-rated material). However, some clips were unavailable in that form, particularly due to heavier restrictions on clips which originated in the United States. Sometimes, two different video clips for the same song were shown in the one session. When this happens, it was often a live (or sometimes remixed) version that was shown earlier in the night/morning, while the "mainstream" censored version shown after 6:00am was shown in the Top Fifty due to classification laws in Australia which prevented adult-oriented material being shown in the after-6:00am time-slot. Since 2005, ''Rage'' is classified PG when it carries over after 6:00am. ''Rage'' has previously had to censor and remove videos which have breached [[advertorial]] and editorial guidelines for [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation|ABC]] TV. For example, in 1991, [[Adidas]] logos were blurred out in a music video by [[New Kids on the Block]] and in 2005 a music video by the [[Bratz Rock Angelz]] was removed due to its advertorial content. Post-2000, ''Rage'' is more liberal and lenient with censorship compared to how it was in the 1990s. For example, ''Rage'', by their own discretion, opted to broadcast the [[Crazy Frog]] music video "[[Axel F (Crazy Frog song)|Axel F]]" uncensored, showing the exposed penis of the frog, deeming it to be non-offensive. From 2005, the Top Fifty was added to the then-new digital channel [[ABC Family (Australian TV channel)|ABC2]]'s programming schedule as well from 8:00am to 11:00am. The Top Fifty is also broadcast to Asia on [[ABC Australia (Southeast Asian TV channel)#2014β2018: Australia Plus|Australia Plus]] and its predecessors [[ABC Australia (Southeast Asian TV channel)#2006β2014: Australia Network|Australia Network]] and Australia Plus since the 2000s and has a large cult audience in the Asia-Pacific region due to the prevalence of pop music there. It shows new release pop music videos. The weekend of 22 and 23 July 2006 was ''Rage''{{'}}s last broadcast of the Top Fifty countdown. In its place at 10{{nbsp}}am to 11{{nbsp}}am on Saturday mornings is a preview of the upcoming guest programmer or special. ''Rage'' programming on Sunday mornings includes a mix of new and hit songs. The decision to remove the Top Fifty countdown was made by ABC management, not ''Rage'' production staff, and was soundly criticized by ''Rage'''s viewing audience, which flooded the program's official message boards with complaints. The cessation of the Top Fifty countdown was due to ARIA initiating a commercial association with a telecommunications company{{Which|date=June 2022}}; as the commercialism breached ABC guidelines, the Top Fifty could therefore not continue to be shown by ''Rage''. In 2008 and 2009, ''Rage'' broadcast an assortment of clips on ABC2 on Saturday afternoons. In 2011, ''rage on 3'' is top video clips of the week as voted by the [[ABC Entertains|ABC3]] audience to complement Stay Tuned. Since 2012, shorter broadcasts have aired transiently overnight during the week. Regular nightly airings of ''Rage'' for an hour on ABC3 started in July 2014, airing as the last program of the day. Since Saturday 21 March 2015 new segment "The Chart" counts down 20 of the most popular videos from the ARIA Singles Chart. The segment also include chart predictions and appearances from some of the most popular acts of today. The Chart airs weekly on ''Rage'' from 6:00am to 8:00am Saturdays on ABC and is repeated on Sundays at 9.30{{spaces}}pm on ABC3.
