Surprised that they didn’t have City-Country at 4pm and the Test at 7.30pm. That’s how it would be done now.

I remember All Music Video on Seven. But because of the competition on other stations, and its one-hour format, they were restricted to what they could air, and sometimes they’d air the same music videos every day for (say) 2-3 weeks.

From what I can recall, it introduced us to songs like Mya’s “Case of the Ex”, Joy Enriquez’s “Tell Me How You Feel”, Nelly Furtado’s “I’m Like a Bird” and Coldplay’s “Yellow” to name a few.

Christine Anu would play the same time every single day as I was getting ready for school.

I’ve had a look and thought Hi-5 aired twice, just one hour apart… only to find out it aired at like 10:00 AM for the regional areas?? and 9:00 AM in the Metro.

Have heard of NBN but not sure if this is a regional channel.

Yes, NBN is regional. Northern NSW

This game ended with Arsenal winning the title beating Liverpool 2-1. All three goals were scored in extra time, it was 0-0 at the end of the 2nd half. I presume the ABC would have extended the telecast to accommodate the full match, or it may have been edited highlights.

I noticed that Channel 7 Perth scheduled the Better Homes at Gardens on Thursday Night. This is possibly due to the AFL being played at Subiaco Oval the following night.

How long did the Today on Saturday last for? 1 year?

Also, worth noting Prime’s local programming throughout the day. Big investment then.

Reckon we could be seeing a similar delay for Swans/Giants matches in Sydney on Saturdays in the early part of the season from next year.

Difference is, that 1997 match was a Seven-produced game (if I’m not mistaken), whereas there’ll be no Saturday night matches on Seven until round 16 as part of the 2025-31 broadcasting contract.
