Albury got SBS in the 1996-97 Financial Year so would have been on air by the time of this game. Shepparton/Goulburn Valley didn’t get SBS until 2001 (and I’m guessing similar for the Western Districts) so I wonder if this was an error by The Age (and they put Albury instead of Shepparton)?

It was the 80s, disabilities weren’t “accepted” back then even when i was a kid in the 90s (i have CP) conductive education was run by the “spastic society” which has since renamed to Scope i’m pretty sure

I knew Songs Of Praise dated back to the 1960s in the UK, but i didn’t know it was showing here in the 1970s, i thought it was the 90s before it began here.

Seven definitely keeping the kids entertained in the morning.

Until 2010, when Seven introduced a Saturday edition of Weekend Sunrise which has remained in the schedule since.
I remember around that time all major networks had to dedicate more resources towards news programming, which is also why after-school kids’ variety shows (such as The Big Arvo and later It’s Academic and Go Go Stop disappeared by 2010) were either axed, or moved to multichannels. These days, you get two hours of news in the three-hour period between 4-7pm.

Is it wrong I still remember watching the premire of The Oblongs 22-years later.

I don’t see anything wrong with that.
The World Around Us use to be presented by the main local newsreader didn’t it (or al least in the 90s)?
I know the Melbourne edition was hosted by Peter Mitchell from the Today Tonight set. Not sure about the other markets, though I think John Riddell and Rick Ardon did the Adelaide and Perth editions respectively.
I can also recall Jennifer Keyte doing these in the early 90s.
Frank Warrick did in QLD for many years:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7H_mIgvDGk

in the 1980s as well. IIRC it was a dodgy loophole in the broadcasting obligations that dictated that (commercial) TV stations had to air a certain amount of Australian documentary content. But apparently imported documentaries could still count, provided that they had an Australian intro and outro segment, possibly for context.
TV stations generally seconded newsreaders to the task, but sometimes others would partake as well e.g. Ita Buttrose, cricketer Greg Chappell, quiz champion (and later politician) Barry Jones, John Laws and Ron Barassi.
Plus this uber-generic one by game show and telethon host Garry Meadows, which literally told you nothing about the program:

i remember watching Heartbreak High reruns in 2001 with my older sister who had just moved back home, anyone know if they reran the 10 series in 01 or just the ABC era?
TVRI (Indonesia), April 9th-15th, 1973 (possibly from their in-house magazine, Monitor)
Found this on my Google Drive.
The TV listings you see is from Indonesia’s state-owned TV network, TVRI (Televisi Republik Indonesia), and the only TV network in the country until RCTI was launched in 1989.
As you can see, the programs are dominated by several entertainment (locally-produced or imported), government-sponsored shows (giving this was Soeharto’s New Order era), and news and information programs mixed, well until 80s where commercials were banned from TVRI, affecting on their programs being dominated by government-sponsored information programs and only few imported shows and movies.
It should be noted that giving it’s just one channel back then, the broadcasting hours were limited to evening. After the launch of Palapa A1 satellite which enable TVRI to broadcast nationwide, broadcast hours were slighty extended from afternoon (usually from 4.30pm, from 1991 at 3.30pm, then 1992-1993 at 2.30pm) on Monday to Saturday, for Sunday broadcast hours begins at 8am then switch-off around midday, before returns at the same afternoon time for primetime programs.

Was this a similar obligation for film critics introducing movies in the 70/80s?
