@Jenmur, welcome aboard, and speaking of Mr Neill, as you are probably aware, he was at Channel 0 before going to ABC, here he is listed as newsreader for Eyewitness News.

Premiere of Saving Private Ryan at 8:30pm with an AV rating. From memory, Ten aired a lengthy consumer/classification advice to try and justify airing the movie earlier than the AV rating would normally permit.
No blackout for the ING Cup game on Nine.

Backyard Blitz being 30mins didn’t last long, assuming first season only then it went to an hour? Our House must have been finishing up around then too.

From memory it was 30 minutes for awhile prior to being extended to an hour. Similar to Great Out Doors and BH&G.
10 having a Late News bulletin on Saturdays and Sundays was a big point of deference from the other two. I believe this stoped in 2002 when ten obtained the AFL rights.

From memory, the Saturday editions stopped in 2004 and Sundays in 2005 (or it could’ve been the other way around).

It took HSV a few years to get to half-hour bulletins.

GTV9 also looked more financially stable in 1960 with the station commencing broadcasting at 7.00am to 11.30pm.
I know this often changed over the years.

Probably thanks to IMT raking in the big bucks and collecting prime time ad dollars right through to 11.00, while Seven was cutting ad rates after 9.30pm. Also Seven, despite having the massive Herald Weekly Times empire behind it, was run like a budget operation.
