Obviously BKN7 switched over to color at a late date. ---

> [@Tane04](#): > > Obviously BKN7 switched over to color at a late date. BKN7, ITQ8, STV8, BTW3, GSW9 all missed the colour deadline. ITQ8 and BTW3 had started colour transmission by May 1975. (Source: Australian Broadcasting Control Board, 27th Annual Report, 1974-75) NTD8 did also miss the deadline as it was off-air after Cyclone Tracy and was not back on air until late 1975 Even though BTW3 had commenced colour transmission in 1975 it was still a couple of years before it had converted its studios to colour production, so local productions like news, etc. were still being produced in B&W as late as 1977. > [@theduytv](#): > > No one has at least a reason why TV Week’s editor think that BCV/STV/GLV wasn’t “networking” schedule yet (e.g. programming on each station hasn’t match enough to merger), #myfriends ??? GLV was always listed in the Melbourne edition, and I guess there was no rush to “merge” the BCV and STV columns even though both had the same schedule. There was obviously no need to free up the space of the duplicate column. Also note that GTS4 and BKN7 are also on a common schedule, established since the microwave link between the 2 stations was opened in 1974. ---

> [@Tim\_Ripley](#): > > **Victoria, Friday 31 October 2008** > from _The Age Green Guide_ Missed this one when it went up the other week but this looks to be from the interesting period where the laws around the multichannels were just starting to change/relax/be flouted and stretched a little. ABC2 was showing a couple more general interest type programs like The New Inventors rather than just the straight repeats of things like 7:30 Report or the kids programming and the HD channels on the commercial networks were starting to have their breakaway programming late at night to differentiate them from the standard SD channels and prior to them being allowed to launch their secondary channels. The fact that Australia went so long with the rollout of digital TV and the restrictive rules around the multichanneling programming was so ridiculous and there are certainly comparisons between how the LNP rolled out digital TV and the NBN. ---

It was from January 2007 that multi-channel content was first allowed on the commercial HD channels, although it was October before any of the networks did anything about it. 7HD came on air with little fanfare in October then TenHD was a month or so later, and 9HD early in 2008. (Although Ten was first to “announce” their channel in September, intending for a December launch, so Seven tried to steal its thunder by rushing an announcement about its new channel and launching 7HD quietly without any fanfare in October) The ABC was also having some of its stringent content restrictions lifted to allow “general entertainment” programming on ABC2, although before then it had snuck in some shows like _The Glass House_ repeats and some concert performances which seemed to be in defiance of the content restrictions placed on it. The government had to lift some of the tight restrictions placed on the networks as people just weren’t adopting digital TV and the analogue shutdown date of 2008 was proving to not be viable as the market was far from ready. So it got extended to 2013. ---

I agree that the regulations surrounding Digital TV & multichanneling were a farce until the late 2000s. One wonders if the laws were so restrictive because the then Howard-lead Coalition government wanted to satisfy the Pay TV companies (Foxtel particularly) who’s services had only been around for five or six years when Digital TV started on 1/1/2001. But at the same time, didn’t quality analogue CRT televisions (let alone the first generation digital TV receivers) cost several hundreds of dollars, if not $1000+ for a while during the Late 1990s/Early 2000s? If so, it’s no wonder that it took a while for a lot of people to upgrade to Digital with those prices! ---

I think Foxtel lobbied for restrictions to be placed on FTA digital for its first few years at least as multi channelling was clearly going to rival them. Although I imagine they didn’t have to lobby too hard with friends in the LNP 😉 [Previous page](https://forums.mediaspy.org/t/classic-tv-listings/511.md?page=58) [Next page](https://forums.mediaspy.org/t/classic-tv-listings/511.md?page=60)
