Ten showing Oprah Winfrey twice in one day?
1 Like
That was fairly common in the mid-00s for them to do primetime Oprah specials as well as air the standard afternoon show. The primetime airings would usually be when she was doing a big interview or when she was doing massive giveaways for her audience like when she gave them all cars.

I noticed that WIN didnât show NRL instead they decided to show Golf (which was a Network Ten feed).
Also 9am pre-school programming would move to 3:30pm timeslot to make way for a new Morning talk show on Seven, The Morning Show with Larry Emdur and Kylie Gillies.

And they used The Best a Man Could Get music to boot when it was regularly on Australian TV in the 90s, got a run occasionally on Sky Channel when races werenât on which did happen every so often particularly on Sundays in that era.

On that day, State of Origin wasnât even shown in Regional TV station, WIN Television. Instead, they caught up with Hey Hey Itâs Saturday. I still donât know why WIN show HHIS instead of the State of Origin match.
That day, there were four FIFA World Cup Live matches being played on SBS TV. WOrld News AUstralia was shown live into WA.

they took a calculated guess that more people would be interested in HHIS?

This listing was from the first âclassicâ TV Week I had got hold of. Sometime around 1981 or 82, I had rescued it from a stack of magazines (mostly old New Ideas, Womenâs Weeklys) that Mum had in a cupboard and was about to trash. The magazine was only 3 years old but I was about 10 at the time, so three years seemed like a really long time ago and it already seemed like a different era! But thatâs where it started for me

Strange that ABC3 is not on that TV guide.

It was the 1990 Football League Cup final between Nottingham Forest and Oldham Athletic, held at Wembley on April 29 that year. Forest won the match 1-0.
It was the last time the League Cup was sponsored by football betting company Littlewoods. It would become the naming rights partner of the FA Cup from 1994-95 to 1997-98 seasons.
I canât remember SBS showed the 500cc World Championships (now known as MotoGP) in primetime.

I remember this show quite well - outside of sports broadcasts I think it wouldâve followed Video Hits.
Another live music show that comes to my mind is âHouse of Hitsâ, which IIRC aired at 6:00pm or so on Saturday nights.

I noticed that the Today Show didnât go to air nationwide due to a Live Golf Telecast.

Not sure why they didnât even run it at 10:30pm.
I more noticed the Big Brother block had an extra 30 minutes on WIN, unless that NRL start time was supposed to be 30 minutes earlier.

The end was near for long-time running game show, Wheel of Fortune after they announced that they will axe this show after 25 years. I get the feeling that since they had the Wheel of FOrtune Show at 5pm in 2004, the ratings started to go downhill.

Pepsi Live used to air at 6pm on Sunday nights in its first year. FOX 8 also carried it. House of Hits did not last six months before given the axe due to very low ratings.

Do you know when TV week finally dropped the call signs HSV, GTV etc from their listings?
when they changed to full-colour listings later in 1993, but even they still used the call-signs in the movie highlights. Iâm not sure when that changed.
