Adelaide and Perth had local weekend news bulletins up until 1995 or early 1996.
I believe the weekend edition of Perth’s Ten News was presented by Geraldine Mellet, while Peter Sellen and Marina Emsley presented the Adelaide weekend news.

Oh really, so Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane were axed in 1994, but Perth and Adelaide kept going for another year is so?

I’ve covered this before…
During that year or so, a national late night bulletin was the only weekend news to be seen on Channel Ten if you were in Sydney, Melbourne & Brisbane.

IIRC, ADS10 and NEW10 didn’t become Ten O&O until 1995 or thereabouts, they were owned by Capital Television Holdings (which also earlier owned CTC7/Capital Television, but had sold that to Southern Cross in 1994)

I notice EastEnders on ABC, showing episodes about four months behind BBC One. The series had started about two years after the UK, but was shown more often. When did ABC drop EastEnders?

According to my search on the old Canberra Times TV guide via Trove, the ABC stopped showing it after 4th July 1991.
Here’s The Canberra Times’ The Guide article about it.

South Sydney 20-14 St.George
Given Canberra stopped doing local telecasts of their team’s matches after 1993, this was Canterbury 30-10 Penrith at Concord Oval (a short lived experiment of playing home games there by the Bulldogs). As for the 500, won by Al Unser Jr for the 2nd time in 3 years, this coverage and that of the IndyCar World Series was linked to the Gold Coast race which was at the start of the season until 1998 when it was switched to late in the year. Sadly there wasn’t even Pay TV coverage of this year’s 500, run 2 days ago.
Featured match in Canberra would have been the Cannons winning 114-105 over Geelong. Other states may have seen either Brisbane vs Sydney (Bullets won 99-97), Perth vs S.E.Melbourne (Magic won 113-106) or Adelaide vs Hobart (Sixers easily 112-83).

Saigon, 26 January 1973
Let me introduce you about the (soon-to-be) Ducangers’ television service.
The Ducangers’ television service has two networks, AFVN (formerly AFRTS, transmitted in English), and the (South) Vietnam Television (THVN9, transmitted in Vietnamese). The networks covered a big region from Quảng Bình to Cà Mau part of current-day Vietnam (or, jokingly, Eastern Laos), and the flagship station was the Saigon station.
Both networks only transmits in the evenings from a complex at 9 Hồng Thập Tự (now 9 Nguyễn Thị Minh Khai/14 Đinh Tiên Hoàng, the headquarters of THVN-successor HTV). Until the complex was completed in around 1966 (?), programs were transmitted by planes, flew every day for 3 -4 hours.
AFVN maintained a big network with stations in Saigon (with an UHF repeaters in Cần Thơ, which relayed programming for the current-day Southwestern Vietnam), 3 stations in the current-day South Central Vietnam (Danang, Qui Nhơn, Nha Trang), 1 in the current-day “Tây Nguyên” region (Central Highlands Vietnam) (Pleiku), and 1 in the current-day North Central Vietnam (Hue, but was replaced by Quảng Trị in 1968)
When the Saigon government collapsed in 1975 (the people then ducanged to the California), all of these stations were nationalised by a new government of the “unified” Vietnam. Those stations were merged with the Hanoi station (ran by the VDR government before then, and branded as Vô tuyến truyền hình Việt Nam until 1987) to form the Nationwide Comittee of Radio and Television. The Saigon station became the Southern flagship of the new network, and briefly branded as Đài Truyền hình Sài Gòn Giải Phóng (SGGP Television) for a year, before it changed to Ho Chi Minh City Television (Đài TH TPHCM, branded as HTV since 1995) following legistration change that year (1976). However, HTV was “sold” to the local government in 1981, officially resulted the exit from the Comittee. The Hanoi station (which became Vietnam Television (Đài THVN, branded as VTV since the early 1990s) was “sold” to the Communist Party (the only political party in Vietnam) in 1984, and in 1987, became an independent unit within the goverment (it has been self-financed since 2008).
The Comittee was dismantled in 1987, with its stations “sold” to the local government that year. In 1993, VTV “bought” three stations in Cần Thơ, Hue and Danang, followed by the Phú Yên staion in 2001. The stations continued to be independently operated until 2016, when the Phú Yên, Hue and Danang merged to form VTV8 (although the Phú Yên station continue to contributes programs to VTV9, it has been since moved to Nha Trang), while the Cần Thơ station were merged to VTV9 and VTV5 (it has an independent feed called VTV5 Southwest). From then until now, VTV operates 9 channels across the country, while the Ducanger still don’t have any “water” on the map until now =)))))))))))

One of the few non sport network variations still happening in 1999. Wheel of Fortune remained at 5.30pm in Sydney. All-Star Squares was produced at the studios of HSV-7 while Wheel was being produced at Seven’s Epping studios at the time. “Made in Melbourne” was a huge selling point for shows produced there during the 1990s (some will say it still is) so I suspect that’s the reason why it got the 5.30pm lead in to the news. I was in Melbourne at the time and I recall both Seven and Nine branding Melbourne based productions as such in their promos.
This is the listing for Seven, Sydney and Prime NSW on May 27, 1999, the day before the above listing:
I preferred the game show Seven was showing at 5pm the year before, Hot Streak. I was never a fan of All-Star Squares even though the format was familiar because I’d watched Celebrity Squares with Jimmy Hannan as a child. Loved Jono and Danno in the 1980s but I couldn’t get into it even with Ian “Danno” Rogerson hosting. It strikes me as odd that they brought in a Sydney radio personality, although he was known nationally, to host a Melbourne produced show.

Fox Sports covered the Indianapolis 500 last weekend with live coverage.
So when did the 10.30am Morning News start?
Im assuming Sunrise weekdays was also put hold on this day?
