Strange for a big movie premiere like that to have aired on a weeknight in those days.

It was meant to be the rugby league equivalent of Four Quarters, the AFL panel show hosted by Sandy Roberts, which aired in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.

Clint Eastwood movie on O looks like good counter programming to Sound of Music.

ATN 7 was airing a This Is Your Life special from London on the night The Sound Of Music aired on TCN. I always remember that show airing on Sundays.

Todayâs TV: 20.7.1973, Melbourne.
The Evil Touch, the 26-episode series of mysteries, begins on Nine. It had a short run in its original timeslot but went on to feature in Nineâs late night programming in reruns for many years to come.

What was this?
I actually remember a promo for this being on YouTube years ago - some type of talkback show hosted by Neil MitchellâŚI think.

Todayâs TV: 20.7.1979, Melbourne.
The Miss Universe pageant is held in Perth. The event took place at 9.00am AWST to align with US prime time television, but its airing in Australia was delayed to local prime time. The telecast was produced by TVW7 in Perth but shown on the Nine Network in Sydney and Melbourne (possibly other cities).
At the end of the event, the stage at the Perth Entertainment Centre collapsed. About 10 contestants fell through the stage and plunged two metres below, according to The Canberra Times report:
It is unclear if the stage collapse made it into the delayed or repeated Australian telecasts (GTV9 screened a replay of the event on the following Sunday afternoon)

I didnât know that David Johnston worked at the ABC. Was he there for a long time?
Not really. Statewide At Six started and ended in 1979 as a weekly program of local current affairs. Then he went across to Channel Ten to read the news.

Classic TV listings on this day in 1976:
-
Weâre three days into the Montreal Olympic Games. Nine, Seven and Two are broadcasting highlights packages at various times. Nine has the most extensive coverage.
-
Seven is is cashing in on the immense popularity of ABBA by scheduling a âsong interludeâ before the news. There were very few opportunities to view music video clips in those days so this was a genius programming move and contributed to Seven National News being the highest rating news service in Sydney that year.
-
ATN 7 broadcasts the 90 minute pilot episode of action series Bluey starring Lucky Grills as the obese, heavy smoking, heavy drinking, race track and brothel frequenting Sergeant Bluey Hills. Grills is better known for having toured his comedy act around clubs and pubs for decades. The episode premieres on a different day in Melbourne with HSV 7 screening an Olympics highlights package at 7.30pm in that timeslot on that day.

I donât have kids, so when I first heard that parents were really getting their kids into Bluey I thought it was a pretty dubious choice of childrenâs programming.

The HSV schedule is significantly different to the ATN one across the day.

Similar to 0-10. Not much in common between them. Even ABC seems quite different in prime time between Sydney and Melbourne. Interesting to see the special Sunshine And Shadows on ABN2, with script written by David Stratton.
btw who was Wilma The Witch? Was she meant to compete with the lovely Miss Marilyn on The Super Flying Fun Show?
