It’s a Knockout debuts on ATV10 three days before it starts on TEN10.
I always thought the show was produced in Brisbane but I’ve been reading articles from 1985 that state the show was taped at Englefield Stadium in the Sydney suburb of Dural.

The Australia Games… they sort of just came and went and were never heard of ever again 
I was probably watching It’s A Knockout, though!
I just saw this recently… some guy pushing for an It’s A Knockout memorial at the site of the old stadium…

Yup. Englefield Soccer Stadium was the filming location. I remember watching two tapings of it and it a was a very impressive setup. Of course the stadium is no longer there, all housing now. But it was more of a paddock than a stadium, lol.

Adelaide gets Good Morning Australia and Today live but the networks can’t manage live breakfast television into SA in 2021.

Yeah I don’t get that, they could run everything from early news live and then at 11.30am run an old rerun of something, even Home and Away from the night before.

GLV8 would show the telethon overnight until 12.20pm the next day when it switched to the cricket. The telethon was scheduled to resume between 4pm and 4.30pm and then 8.35pm to 10.30pm.
ATV10 would only break for the News at 6pm the next day then return to the telethon at 6.30pm.

Strange seeing Brian Henderson listed as being on a channel Seven show even if it was back in the days when TCN was aligned with HSV.
Time calls and daily exercises on “informal” breakfast television hosted by Phillip Brady. Such a pity video doesn’t exist of this stuff.

Seven and 0-10 both broadcast (non exclusive with the ABC) a few test series in the lead up to the World Series Cricket split.

It was a long day for young Philip Brady, hosting Today in the morning and then reading the late news at 11.00

Music, Clock and Audio Time Calls sounds like a possible replacement for Studio 10.
