This was the first ever test match at the WACA Ground.

I never knew why Seven used to just list their movies with no starting times. They did this for years. Were people just to guess what times the movies started? Or expected to tune in at 9.00am and just stay on for the rest of the day?? It was always odd.

Prologue? Is it something like an epilogue except at the start of the day?

I believe so

ADS / SAS still closing overnight, that mustn’t have been the case for much longer.
Also Aerobics Oz Style on Seven? I suspect this was one of the last things that must have still been residual that never changed over from the ADS / SAS affiliation swap

Not sure of the arrangement for Aerobics Oz Style. Seems to be somewhat unusual.

It appears to have been on ADS10 in 1988, so after the affiliation swap, and was still on ADS10 in 1992. But then it swapped over to SAS7 in 1993? I don’t think I have any Adelaide guides after 1993, so I don’t know what happened after that but I guess it made its way back to Ten there at some stage.

Might have made its way back when Adelaide was back to O&O after 1995. Kind of an oddball schedule thing though, I wonder if the guides for Ten in 1993 in Perth or Canberra were the same considering the 3 were under common ownership at the time.

Aerobics Oz Style was on Prime in Canberra and TVW7 Perth in 1993. I think at the time NEW10, ADS10 and CTC were owned by Capital (?) so perhaps they didn’t renew Aerobics Oz Style at some point in 1993 and it went across to the Sevens in those markets.

Perhaps a timebuy with particular stations/networks rather than an actual Network program? Or a falling out with Ten Adelaide’s owners at the time (was it Canwest in 1993 or Charles Curran and didn’t he also own Capital in 1993?) The mind boggles.
