I wonder if each of the old NZBC TV channels had their own logos and branding?

Later, there was live netball (Silver Ferns v Australia) from Melbourne at 9.25pm and basketball highlights at 11.10pm.

Over on Channel 2 (now TVNZ 2), the movie-length premiere of the short-lived US series “Hardball” screened at 9.30pm on the evening of Saturday 16 June 1990 and was followed at 11pm by full delayed coverage of WrestleMania VI, the sixth annual WrestleMania pay-per-view event from the World Wrestling Federation (now WWE).

A month had passed since the disaster of the wedding, but the scandal still haunted the Redfern clan. The questions were, what had become of Gemma (Miranda Harcourt)? What surprises would Maxine (Ilona Rodgers) spring on the family that time round? Why had Aaron Sloane (Gary Day) come back from the dead? The saga continued in the welcome return of the highly glamorous TVNZ soap, Gloss, which started screening on Network Two (now TVNZ 2) at 9.10pm on the evening of Tuesday 21 June 1988.

@OnAir @TV4 @nztv @TelevisionAU Hundreds of New Zealanders dancing the conga at all hours of the morning could only mean one thing - Telethon. It was shown on Network Two (now TVNZ 2) at 7.30pm on the evening of Saturday 25 June 1988 and ran for 24 hours… with an extra five minutes as it concluded at 7.35pm, according to the NZ Listener!
Broadcast live from the Auckland Town Hall - with additional venues in Hamilton, Gisborne, Palmerston North, Wellington, Nelson, Christchurch, Dunedin and Invercargill - Judy Bailey and Natalie Brunt (now Natalie Chetkovich) were the national frontpeople (and hosts of the Auckland Telethon) for 1988’s weekend-long fundraiser, aimed at reducing violence in the home and neighbourhood. Voluntary groups concerned with parent support, drug education and the prevention of violence benefited.
There were 72 Telethon centres nationwide, which were being staffed by New Zealand entertainers, actors, sports and media personalities. Among those who took part in the 1988 Telethon included John Hawkesby, Angela D’Audney, Barry Holland, Eliza Bidois-Owens, Bob Parker, Roger Gascoigne, Geoff Bryan, Mike Bodnar, Ken Ellis, Michele A’Court, Alasdair Kincaid (formerly known as Frank Flash from “What Now”), Liz Grant, Rodney Bryant, Peter Llewellyn, Hilary Muir, Peter Hayden, John ‘Boggy’ McDowell and many others.
Overseas guests, who had flown with Air New Zealand, included Leeza Gibbons (“Entertainment This Week”), Mike Smith (“The Late Late Breakfast Show”), Estelle Getty (“The Golden Girls”), Helen Worth (“Coronation Street”), Christopher Quinten (“Coronation Street”), Susan Tully (“EastEnders”), Letitia Dean (“EastEnders”), Max Gail (“Barney Miller”), Kim Lewis (“Sons and Daughters”), Antonia Murphy (“Sons and Daughters”), Ian Rawlings (“Sons and Daughters”), Su Pollard (“Hi-de-Hi!”), Blair Underwood (“LA Law”), Alix Elias (“Hooperman”) and New Zealand’s own Pat Evison (“The Flying Doctors”) to name just a few.
The 1988 Telethon included a special edition of the live Lotto draw (at 8pm) with Doug Harvey hosting the draw from the Auckland Town Hall, i.e. the same venue as the Auckland Telethon.
The first three hours of the 1988 Telethon, featuring live coverage of the Christchurch Telethon with crosses to other venues from time to time, can be viewed on YouTube.

This Week’s TV: 29 June - 5 July 1985 (plus 6-7 July 1985)
from the NZ Listener
@OnAir @TV4 @nztv @TelevisionAU The 1985 Telethon, for the Child and Youth Development Trust, was shown on TV One (now TVNZ 1) at 8pm on the evening of Saturday 29 June 1985 and ran for 24 hours. It set a new record for money raised, at around $6 million - $6,007,722, to be exact.
Overseas guests for that year’s Telethon included Sorrell Booke (“The Dukes of Hazzard”), Victoria Nicholls (Australia’s “Sale of the Century”, “Prisoner”), Bruce Weitz (“Hill Street Blues”), New Zealand’s own Alan Dale (“The Young Doctors”, “Neighbours”), Kamahl (an Australian singer/entertainer), Michael Bentine (“The Goon Show”, “Michael Bentine’s Potty Time”), Ernie Wise (“Morecambe & Wise”), Becky Hobbs (a US singer/songwriter), Chris King (“The Young Doctors”), Valerie Landsburg (“Fame”), Deborah Raffin (“The Dove”, “Death Wish III”), Ernie Hudson (“Ghostbusters”), Johnny Briggs (“Coronation Street”) and James B Sikking (“Hill Street Blues”).
From Monday 1 July 1985, transmission hours were extended on both TVNZ channels.
The new start times for TV One (now TVNZ 1) were 10.30am on weekdays, 7am on Saturdays and 8am on Sundays. TV2 kicked off at the new time of 12pm on weekdays, with weekend programmes being commenced one hour earlier (11am).
On weekdays, for instance, TV One opened with “The Richard Simmons Show” and “Tai Chi” (10.55am), both of which were followed at 11am by the return of what was then Britain’s No 2 soap, “Crossroads”. Over on TV2, there’s the midday movie and a British sitcom rerun - beginning with “Hi-de-Hi!”.
For music fans, TVNZ launched a series of music specials known as “12 O’Clock Rock” which featured overseas bands and artists in concert and was introduced by Gary McCormick. “12 O’Clock Rock” was shown late on Friday nights on TV One, after a five-minute spot for the late news and weather, and began with a Midnight Oil special. Prior to that, the late news and weather were followed by the iconic Goodnight Kiwi cartoon which marked the end of a typical day’s transmission on TV One.
For the little ones, TV One had three hours of kids TV on a Saturday morning (from 7am) with “What Now” extending to two hours in duration and moving to the new timeslot of 8am.
Below are the listings for the weekend of 6-7 July 1985, coinciding with the extension of TVNZ’s transmission hours.

@OnAir @nztv @TV4 In the first week of July 1990 TV One (now TVNZ 1) broadcast three big sporting events:
- The FIFA World Cup quarterfinals, semifinals, third/fourth place playoff and final
- Wimbledon - women’s and men’s finals
- Cricket - England v New Zealand, the third test (from Edgbaston).
TV One opened transmission at the earlier time of 5am on the morning of Sunday 1 July 1990 with live coverage of the first of two FIFA World Cup quarterfinals, with the last two being broadcast at 6.45am the next morning (2 July).
The semifinals were broadcast at 5.45am on Wednesday (4 July) and Thursday (5 July) when the channel opened transmission. As New Zealand’s three-test cricket series concluded, TV One stayed on air all night - from the start of Thursday’s programmes until closedown at 5.15am on the early hours of Saturday morning (7 July). It resumed transmission later that morning at 9.30am and continued right through until the early hours of Tuesday morning (10 July) at 5.15am!
Here are TV One’s listings for Thursday (5 July) and Friday (6 July).
