That had kind of been going through my mind actually but I wasn’t 100% certain since its been on a few of these mid-00s guides recently. Then it was listed on both Nine and TEN so it really confused me.

Rai Uno channel is all homegrown programmes much like BBC One in the UK, whereas all other Italian channels have at least 1 or more international programming

Those listings look more detailed than TV Week.

Although it looks like the satellite channels are only an abridged listing like TV Week does with Foxtel channels.
it seems to be an unusual custom, too, to show the age of anyone who’s photo is shown in the magazine? I don’t know if this is a broader publishing custom or just for this particular magazine.
Also, what this magazine doesn’t show is the dozens of shopping or infomercial channels that there are. So many of them! Makes our handful seem insignificant.

I see they have a listing for their radio stations too.
Certainly something you wouldn’t see now in TV Week.

That night, WIN televised AFL at 7:30pm, while NIne Perth delayed it to 8:30pm. IIRC, Nine Melbourne and Brisbane (IIRC) showed the Brisbane-St Kilda match Live

TTN also had an association with News Limited papers who’d get a 2 page insert every week it was on.

Jerry Springer Show didn’t go to air on that day and instead, was replaced by The Second Jungle Book on 10. IIRC, TEN Perth didn’t have localised news on Good Friday and instead had a National Edition.
The Grammy Awards were shown in primetime

Surprised to see pretty much a full day on GWN where they’ve got no content from 7 or 9 on a regional affiliate, including stuff I’d wonder how they’d get access to - can’t imagine GWN making a unique deal for Hockey/Snooker rights, I assume that’s mostly 10, but then would GWN have had direct access?

Big League Soccer was from the UK and the Ice Hockey was from Canada, so maybe they just had some package from a sports distributor or something? Although I think Big League Soccer was carried by the Seven Network here, so GWN might have got it that way.
I imagine they would have been pretty cheap. Don’t forget, also, that as well being able to source their own programming from wherever, regionals used to have access to an umbrella organisation, I think it was called Australian Television Facilities, which purchased programs either from the metros or from overseas directly, and individual regional stations could tap into these. (Similar to the TV Facilities joint venture that used to buy shows to share among the Perth channels 7 and 9)
