Much better format with the channels listed separately. The regionals were quite a few years behind with Prisoner.

Anyone have anymore information on “Everyday” on ATV at 11am?
I’m assuming this was a local news magazine show prior to Good Morning Melbourne.
It was basically the same show. Just a rename. Full of advertorials but disguised more as interviews.
I was fortunate to meet Roy Hampson some years ago. He said that the show had virtually no budget and survived only on the advertorial revenue that it brought in. I suspect the morning shows in other cities were similar, but Bert Newton’s GMA often gets credited with “inventing” the concept. These shows were doing it years before.

The demonstration film may have been popular if you were a new TV owner and desperate for anything to watch amongst all the test patterns.
And TV Week had a reverse channel order of 9 then 7 then 2.

I guess Johnny Young and Molly date back working together on the early pop music shows on Channel 0, twenty years later they’re back together

And I think YTT was starting to struggle against HHIS so I guess they were trying to do things that would improve the ratings. And the ABC could no longer show a footy replay in Melbourne at 6.30pm which may have helped the footy ratings on HSV7. I think the ABC could still show the footy replay in regional Victoria.

I didn’t know ABC had stopped footy replays by then. I’d always just thought they kept doing them in tandem with Seven up until the end of 1986, when ABC then got them outright via Broadcom in 1987.
The ABC was still involved with doing the OB for one of the replayed games and sharing the vision for the other games with Seven. But they could not show it Melbourne. The could still show it in The Winners the next day.
