Family Feud on Seven in Adelaide, and none of the variety shows live.
2 Likes
one of those weird programming quirks prior to rigid networking structures, where Family Feud was originally produced at TVW7 in Perth (then not aligned to any network) and had been sold for screening on ADS7 in Adelaide and BTQ7 in Brisbane before it got picked up by Nine in Sydney and Melbourne. Even when production of the show later shifted to the GTV9 studios it still played out on the Sevens in Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane. (I don’t know if the end credits still featured the “Nine Network” logo or if it was modified for airing on Seven in those cities)
Strangely, it might have made sense even for Family Feud to get shown by SAS10 in Adelaide as it was owned by TVW, but ADS7 ended up getting it.

Choosing what to watch was so much simpler back then.

I’m sure I’ve asked this before, but was WIN4 carrying Seven or Nine news from Sydney at that stage? With aggregation a few months away it must have been close to switching over to Nine’s news? The line-up already looks to be heavily focused on Nine programming with not much from Seven (Bicentennial Minutes, which was a product placement spot for AMP anyway) and nothing from Ten?
And the two major soaps, Home And Away and Neighbours, not showing on either WIN or NBN?
If I’m not mistaken, WIN had been airing National Nine News for a few years by 1988.

The changeover from Seven National News to National Nine News by regional TV stations across NSW (including WIN) would’ve happened when Seven National News’ Sydney bulletin went to a 1-hour format in December 1984.

Has anyone published footage of Trisha Goddard hosting the 7:30 Report?
I know she hosted, but still a world away from watching her on Play School when I was growing up!

There’s a tiny snippet on YouTube but I also would love to see anything more.
From memory H&A started on NBN in 1989. When they lost it for aggregation, Prime was roughly 18 months ahead. We used to watch it but lost interest and couldn’t catch up.

The tragic passing of Princess Diana would have still dominated the news bulletins. I seem to recall Seven and Nine in Sydney extended their bulletins to one hour during that week.

Nine’s US Open tennis coverage at that time was restricted to day sessions from 1am to 7am AEST, although if an Australian player such as Lleyton Hewitt was in a night session from quarter finals or later Nine would show it in place of their usual daytime lineup. Nine also showed the semi finals and finals live. There was no pay TV coverage on Fox Sports or Optus Sports Australia then, Nine’s coverage was exclusive.
