It appears that the AMV4 and BCV8 (Southern Cross) listings have been swapped in error.

So there just wasn’t any news broadcasts for that time on ABC in Victoria?
Probably just aired a test pattern which IIRC they did on other occasions when they’d have industrial action.
The industrial action was documented in ABC’s 1984-85 annual report:

Family Feud on Seven in Adelaide, and none of the variety shows live.
2 Likes
one of those weird programming quirks prior to rigid networking structures, where Family Feud was originally produced at TVW7 in Perth (then not aligned to any network) and had been sold for screening on ADS7 in Adelaide and BTQ7 in Brisbane before it got picked up by Nine in Sydney and Melbourne. Even when production of the show later shifted to the GTV9 studios it still played out on the Sevens in Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane. (I don’t know if the end credits still featured the “Nine Network” logo or if it was modified for airing on Seven in those cities)
Strangely, it might have made sense even for Family Feud to get shown by SAS10 in Adelaide as it was owned by TVW, but ADS7 ended up getting it.
