Mainly due to Perth only having three channels instead of four in the other state capitals what is why Romper Room is shown on 9 in Perth
That 9am variation between SES and RTS is a bit curious, presumably Telemall would not pay for that 9.30 slot on SES?
Would have been WIN-owned by this time.

it was a Brisbane listing.
Might have been just prior to WIN taking over, I think that happened later in the year but I am not certain of that.
Yes sorry, thought it was Nov, it is a Jan listing.

That Ten current affairs show with George Negus is gone after not performing as hoped
WIN took control of their SA stations in August 1999 (1 August I think).
SES 8 rebranded as WIN on 17 October 1999 and RTS 5A rebranded as WIN on 21 November 1999 (the same day that they began taking a feed from Mount Gambier).

This must’ve been close to the end of Kochie and Mel’s first stint on Sunrise. It then came back in 2000 prior the Sydney Olympics IIRC with Beretts and GG as hosts.

No WIN didn’t buy SES/RTS until August 1999 & didn’t change the on air name to WIN until October 1999.

Thank you, as I posted after, I initially mistook the month of that guide.
RTS would have still been broadcasting their news from out of the station office at the time with the studio gutted by fire only two months prior.

Nine Perth broadcasted a Live Twenty20 INternational Match for the first time. Back in the early days, Perth had to suffer through a delayed telecast of T20 Cricket

Just about every regional station didn’t start transmissions until late in the afternoon back then.

TV guide taken from the Daily Truth newspaper in Melbourne, 20 August 1975
Looks like the Daily Truth just took its TV guide template from TV Week

The Truth. I remember that. It makes The Daily Telegraph and Herald Sun look respectable in comparison.
