Classic TV Listings

I looked at the first picture and thought that can’t be right, we didn’t have those channels!

Interesting the logo they use is Southern Cross Network, I thought by that time they had changed to Southern Cross Television.
Also, January 1995 was 3 months into WIN Television branding in the state (the first appearance of the dots on that channel, not on TNT9) after rebranding from TasTV on October 16th, 1994.

Which version did Peter Luck host? He was the first host I can remember for Today Tonight.

He hosted the Sydney version.

I’m guessing Sydney

I remember watching a few episodes and thinking Brett Butler and the Carsey Werner were trying too hard to replicate the success of Roseanne.

Sad to learn the first actor to play her eldest son in the show, Jon Paul Steuer, passed away a few weeks ago.

More importantly Super Bowl XXIX was on, although the game was one sided (San Diego had played their Super Bowls in the previous 2 weeks to make it against a team who had so much big game experience in San Francisco). Think this was only one of perhaps 2 Super Bowls that the ABC (Australia) had a Super Bowl covered by ABC (America), the other being Super Bowl XXV famously remembered as the first of 4 consecutive Buffalo losses.

Is the Super Bowl usually being broadcasted in a private network?

Today’s TV: 2.2.1982, Melbourne

  • Third Test in Adelaide is on GTV9 and ABC regionals, although it looks like ABC in Melbourne picked up the broadcast from 4.12pm… exactly?!
  • Sons And Daughters and A Country Practice are in early days on Seven, and Ten has the ill-fated Punishment, the prison drama starring Barry Crocker… and Mel Gibson as one of the prison inmates.

And here’s the regional listing at the back of the magazine for the week:

Never realised there were competing iterations of Beauty and the Beast, Laws on 10 and Hinch on 7.

No idea how they both got away with literally running the same show as each other

I think Open Learning was cease in early 2000s and not about for the for school program though

Today’s TV: 5.2.1976, Melbourne.

Source: TV Week

  • Test Cricket from the MCG is on ABC and Seven, though only for 2.5 hours being the host city
  • Jimmy Hannan hosts game show Celebrity Squares on Nine
  • Peter Hitchener reads the news for Nine, David Johnston and Brian Naylor on 7, and Bruce Mansfield has Melbourne’s only 1-hour news on 0.
  • Crawford cop dramas Homicide and Matlock Police are up against each other, essentially splitting the audience between them. Both shows (and Nine’s Division 4) had been axed only months apart from each other the previous year, with Crawfords claiming the networks were working in collusion and deliberately putting Crawford shows up against each other in the schedule to split the numbers. If any collusion was true it was short lived as by the end of the year both Seven and Nine had commissioned new shows from the company.

And here’s regional Victoria/South Australia for the same day:

  • BCV8 and STV8 (and GLV10 on the back page of the listings) are now showing a common schedule. And with this it seems Mildura viewers now getting a longer broadcast day than when STV was an independent.
  • Same too for GTS4 and BKN7
  • ABC in South Australia is showing the full day’s coverage of the cricket while ABC Victoria follows suit with Melbourne.
