The American game show Jeopardy, or was there a different show going by that name?
Seven produced an Australian version of the American game show in the 1970s but the contestants were all school students from across Australia. Mal Walden, Andrew Harwood, Graham Webb and Bob Sanders all hosted at one time or another.
I only heard of Tenâs short-lived version in the 1990s hosted by Tony Barber.
Also, why were Ten and ABC showing the same Sheffield Shield match?
The ABC had been the traditional broadcast home of cricket dating back to the 1930s. The Australian Cricket Board continually refused huge offers from commercial broadcasters for exclusivity because of that tradition and because the ABC had the greatest reach into remote and rural areas of the country. Even after Kerry Packer revolutionised the game in 1977, forms of the game (excluding World Series Cricket) continued to be seen on the ABC while being broadcast on commercial television.
Notice in the listings from the Boxing Day test in 1982 there was coverage on both ABN 2 and TCN 9, although the ABC didnât broadcast the morning session. The regionals werenât covering it because it could be seen on the ABC.
Looks like the Sydney-Hobart Yacht Race took precedence earlier on ABN2, though I imagine the morning cricket session was shown on ABC regional stations?
Eventually ABC stopped broadcasting test cricket in the capital cities entirely (seeing as Nine had it covered) but the regionals continued to cover it up to December 1991 on the eve of aggregation starting in NNSW and VIC. I think from that point on any non-aggregated regional markets had to rely on their local commercial channel for test cricket coverage.
Andrew Harwood also hosted Itâs Academic as well.

It looks like ABRN6 took the schools programming from Sydney but took the regular programming from Brisbane. Nowadays the ABC Lismore station takes the NSW feed full time.
