  • BTV6, GMV6 (and SES8, judging by other days in this edition) appear to be screening episodes of Neighbours only a day behind Ten. So given recent discussion in another thread, aggregation would have no impact in these areas at least in maintaining continuity with Neighbours, assuming that BTV/GMV6’s successor VIC TV kept running the show up until the changeover.
  • Prime is also screening Home And Away in sync with Seven… well, actually, 30 minutes before Seven to account for local news.
  • Prime Television (AMV4) is pretty much relaying the Seven schedule, 3 years ahead of aggregation (which at the time was intended to happen January 1993). There are some exceptions during the week: 60 Minutes (delayed to screening after the Sunday movie), Turn Round Australia (Sunday morning religious series which aired on Nine), Good Morning Australia, Days Of Our Lives, The Cosby Show and its spin-off A Different World, Rugby League Test Australia v New Zealand (from Nine).
  • BTV6, GMV6 and Southern Cross Network all showing an hour of news at 6.00pm although in reality this was regional news at 6.00 followed by National Nine News from Melbourne on delay at 6.30.
  • RTS5A showing Ten News, presumably from ADS10 in Adelaide, and SES8 I believe relaying National Nine News from Melbourne.
