Couple of observations regarding the cricket World Cup coverage.
This is the period immediately following the truce between Packer and the ACB in May 1979, unusual to see Tony Grieg who was so deeply involved in WSC and Nine appearing on 0-10 coverage given its often said Packer offered him a job for life early in the WSC negotiations.
Odd the coverage is coming from Adelaide with Phil Gibbs hosting given he was from ATV.

I was suprised that the X Winter Games was on Ten.
Not sure if anyone knows this but what time did G2 kick-off? A 2 hour, 35 minute window for such a big game like State of Origin seems really short
It was scheduled to kick-off at 8:00pm it appears. Iâm fairly certain that the telecast wouldnât have ended at 10:05pm. The Origin telecasts on Nine always went overtime, iirc.
That was the first time 0-10 broadcast an overseas cricket tournament right? I always thought Australiaâs 1995 tour of West Indies was the first overseas cricket series to be shown on Ten.

Todayâs TV: 12.6.1982, Victoria
First listings in TV and Video Digest. Think this magazine folded the next month.
Source: TV and Video Digest
I only vaguely remember TV and Video Digest but have no copies of it. Looking at the program listings, this appears to be a cross between the original TV Guide and the TV Day guide that was in Womanâs Day. Was this published by Fairfax, which I think published Womanâs Day?
Kevin Sadlier was a former TV Week writer IIRC.
Publisher details were in the next edition
It was a similar size to TV Guide but only 48 pages. No advertising except for the back cover and a regular âchannel 7 newsâ feature.
Sydney TV: Monday 13 June 1988
from The Sun-Herald
The magazine had a very short run: it aired for the last time on 1 December 1988.
Todayâs TV: 13.6.1980, Tasmania
Misprint in the Victoria edition where just the Friday for Tasmania was included.

I donât think Nine has broadcast the menâs singles final live since, until tonight.
Dinât it used to be live before that?
