On that day, this was the end for game show, Temptation. Channel 9 aired this show at a special time at 11:30 am due to the summer of cricket. Ed Phillips contract has not been renewed.
Daywatch was also the name of Ten’s late morning/early lunchtime news bulletin which aired weekdays at 11.30am (AEST/AEDT) during 1986/87.
Didn’t they also have a local afternoon news bulletins at 2.00pm around this time?

Presumably Seven was delaying the tennis semi-final into Perth - which I can see why they would’ve when digital [edit: digital multi-channel] TV and making sure it’s “live everywhere” wasn’t a thing - but that would have also let them slot in a convenient time (between sets or at least games) to let them fulfil their City of Perth contract to show the Aus Day fireworks. Smart.

Saturday Disney was a great show back in the day. A shame it would become a victim of timeslot changes in its later years.
I knew the Commonwealth Games was in an early slot that year, but for some reason I never thought the games had that many prime time (in Australia) sessions.

Two new game shows premiered on that night with the Rich List (with ANdrew O’keefe on Channel 7) and 1 vs 100 (with Eddie McGuire on Channel 9.)
Amazing how Nine had Looney Tunes and Seven had Disney in Melbourne. This content agreement lasted for over 50/60 years between the two stations.
back in the 70s at least in sydney nine had disney (6.30pm sundays) and seven had looney tunes (usually around 4.30/5pm weekday afternoons)
I believe that may have been from the old GTV/ATN and HSV/TCN agreements?
