CHannel Nine perth showed the French Open during the afternoon while in WIN Territory, they showed during hte late night.
As well, Channel 7 Perth showed two Sunday arvo games - Hawthorn v Fremantle (Live from the MCG), while the North Melbourne v Adelaide game was shown on a 2-hour delay.
On SBS2, they had a show named Ninja Warrior. I wonder if this show was a US type of show back then. :thinking:

A little odd having SBS occupying the middle column, not even next to ABC, just random.

WIN also showing the rugby league on the Sunday afternoon, but STW kept it for late night.

It was a legacy of the old GG format that had a photo over the middle/shorter SBS column. After a while they took the photo out but left SBS in the middle

I think this program guide was days after a power strike in Victoria which saw TV off the air completely for 24 hours and radio stations limited to broadcasting hourly news bulletins only.
