A bit cheeky for Channel Ten to claim Neighbours as a “Logie winning show” when at that stage the only Logies (two) it had won were in relation to its time at Channel Seven. Technically, yes, it’s the same show but to put the brag next to the Ten logo looks like taking some sort of credit

Interesting that Ten (ATV10) had a news bulletin at 2.00pm around this time. I believe it was also local. I’m surprised other networks haven’t again ventured into this timeframe for a news bulletin.

Sounds like Martin Foley.
Sure does, maybe british pronunciation
“Martin’s Folly” was a 1959 episode of the American TV program Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse.
I’ve got “Southern NSW” for the same day
Strangely, the Sammy Awards (HSV7) don’t appear to get a go on any of the NSW or VIC regional stations listed, or Canberra.
I think that may have been the last year the Sammy Awards were held, anyway. They were an attempt by Seven and TV Times to rival the Logie Awards but were run in connection with the Variety Club.

A lot of regional channels carrying Sale of the Century back then.

almost every regional channel did! Some on direct relay from a capital city Nine station, others tape-delayed.

The last day’s listing from the last issue of TV Times before it merged into TV Week

Was there any mention of that being the last issue?
Nothing at all.
But there was a brief editorial in the next week’s TV Week which first carried the tagline “incorporating TV Times and TV Guide”

It seems many readers of TV Times and TV Guide were not happy as the only change to TV Week had been to put their names on the cover.

From memory, (around this time) Channel 10s Sunday night line up of Law & Order / NCIS was what killed the traditional Sunday Night Movie on all three networks. Nine soon launched CSI into this time slot.

And NCIS is still going, 17 years later!
