What a way to promote your news service.
itâs a two-part ad, on the opposite (left page) the ad says âIf you think today was just another dayâŚâ, then on the right page⌠âSevenâs got News for youâ

On GMV6 it would be Hey Hey Itâs Sunday Morning.

I used to remember setting the Akai VCR to record Hey Hey so my dad can watch it on Sunday afternoons.

The same day for Adelaide (excluding SBS), from The Times, Victor Harbour"
looking at this guide:
- ADS7 no longer has Music Express in its schedule (replaced by Clipz on Sunday mornings). After its axing they sold the Music Express name to SES8 Mount Gambier as their music show.
- only one hour of the Caulfield Cup covered by ADS7 compared to the 5 hour coverage on HSV7.

- Paris, Texas has itsâ âfirst time on televisionâ on the ABC
- Life On Earth has its commercial TV premiere on NWS9 (and also on GTV9 and the rest of the Nine Network).
- live coverage of a VFL/AFL post-season exhibition game from Los Angeles on SAS10. I checked the Melbourne guide for the same day and ATV10 (nor the ABC which had the rights in 1987) did not show it at all.
- Point of View, produced at GTV9, airs in Adelaide on ADS7.

This match didnât go ahead as originally scheduled. It was moved to Vancouver due to earthquake damage to the Coliseum in LA. I seem to recall them being a little later in the day than that early too although I think the date is correct. This was considered the final of the international series and shown on ATV10, the commentators were Eddie and Bruce, Quarters hosting from the Broadcom set (not entirely sure where that was located, presumably Melbourne).

Hi there, on the off chance that you may know anyone that point me in the right direction of old copies of âSearch For A Starâ with Jimmy Hannan Iâd be very grateful. I donât even know if those master tapes still exist. But even if youâre aware of anyone who may have recorded the show on VHS? Program air date Iâm after is Friday 03/07/81. My sister appeared on it as a contestant. She won the Federal Pacific Award. Iâm trying to give her a surprise 60th Birthday present in time for December. Thanks! Renato

I doubt Channel Ten would have tapes and Iâm not sure who the production company was or even if itâs still around. You could try the National Film and Sound Archive in Canberra to ask if they have the show but there can be some copyright issues around releasing footage to members of the public, but they can tell you more about that.

Good luck. I recently contacted Fremantle (formerly Grundy Television) requesting an episode of Sale Of The Century from 1982. They came back with âwe only have one episode on file - the rest were sent to the National Film and Sound Archive in Canberraâ. Be warned, they charge like a wounded bull for any programs requested.

This seems particularly lacking in foresight given how reruns of classic gameshows has become a strong niche for channels - including Fremantleâs own Buzzr in the US.
In the 27 years since pay TV began and 24 years since digital FTA, all we seem to get are mountains of US and UK library channels.
Seems that no Australian broadcaster/producer is the least bit willing to invest in building local content archive channels. WIN continues to limit its Crawfords archive just to expensive DVD sales. Fremantle/Grundy seem to be almost similar in terms of some of its classic soaps.
EDIT: i am reminded that 7plus at least has some drama catalogue FAST channels. And 10play has Prisoner.

It really seems like the old way of thinking, doesnât it.
I can understand there are different concerns around copyright and that audiovisual digitisation is a lot more complex than documents and photographs, but the ability to obtain content is still difficult verging on impossible.
The funny thing is, most of this stuff is probably available as digital assets anyway. News and TV show metadata would have been digitalised years ago, and there has been a lot of commentary about funding for the digitisation of physical-only assets before they degrade beyond use.
Surely most places would be at a point where on-premises server storage is cost prohibitive, so if this stuff has moved over to cloud, it really is a straightforward process to make it available upon request.
I get that broadcasters & producers wouldnât do this if it doesnât make them money, but considering how antiquated the processes are and how difficult they are to navigate, Iâd argue that the current way is, if anything, losing them money.
