There was a time when ATV0/10 had the rights to Looney Tunes around 1975 to 1988. That ended when GTV9 and the Nine Network began their output deal with Warner Bros in 1990.

I think, correct me if i’m wrong, the 0 was supposed to represent transmissions on Channel 0.

Was that not obvious?

I’d love to see the original Temptation / Great Temptation, I don’t even think I’ve seen photographs.

I like that SBS kept using the globe logo even after shutting off their VHF transmitter.

CHannel 9 broadcasted a T20 match between Australia and India at the MCG. In Regional WA, it was shown one hour earlier than Perth.
Although I was in overseas at that time, I believed that James Brayshaw was part of the T20 commentary at the MCG.

It’s just “broadcast”, no “ed” needed, I keep seeing that in these threads.

Nine Perth screened the first two hours of the Pakistan-West Indies match (from the WACA), while WIN showed the entire match live.
Channel Ten showed new eps of The Jerry Springer Show from midday.

Not sure what Ten were thinking by replacing 6pm Simpsons with Sabrina. Didn’t last long.

Yep, but Ten were years behind by this point. Based on some of my recordings, they were showing episodes from 2002.

As the guides have shown it wasn’t the first or the last time that Ten tried to put anything other than The Simpsons in the 6pm slot only for it to fail and then have to go crawling back to The Simpsons.

Father of the Bride, a constant go-to for movie repeats.

As is The First Wives Club, Ten loved that one as well

Coincidentally both star Diane Keaton.
