No Birds of a Feather before The Late Show i noticed?
It depends on who was up that late at night and if they were playing music over it or that tone. Maybe a few shiftworkers

What was Channel 15 on Sky,
Sydney, Sunday 6 October 1963. The first year of the Armstrong 500 motor race at Mount Panorama, Bathurst, after the first three races had been held at Phillip Island. Seven had a sporadic live coverage.

For the record, the official time of the race that year was 7 hours, 47 minutes and 14 seconds. I was unable to find out what time the race started - if it had started at 8:30am, the winners (Bob Jane and Harry Firth) would have crossed the finish line at about 4:17pm.
If the race had started any later than 9:15am, ATN would have had to make some late schedule adjustments.

That would be the Gillette Cup (Gillette began sponsoring the one-day domestic tournament in the 1973/74 season).
That’s the first time I read Seven broadcasting men’s domestic cricket, before Nine took up the rights a few years later.

Sounds like something off Play School…
When did 7 showed domestic cricket
The first day of test colour program transmission. At first limited to sport and only for a couple of hours a day. Was later expanded to allow selected movies, specials and specific episodes of regular programs

73/74, perhaps later and previous seasons as well, 0-10 even has a summer of international and domestic matches before the WSC split utilising much of the future Nine commentary team. HSV even did District First XI at one stage, Bill Larry began his broadcast career with them.
Edit, actually seem to recall 0-10 a bit later possibly 79-80 doing the one day cup.
