That would have been a typo. NEN didnt screen Richmond Hill. NRN did
I believe Paul Ramseys Ramcorp owned RVN/AMV and NEN/ECN around this time
And on 10 September too. Youâd think they could have waited another 90 minutes to show it.

I noticed the replay of Popstars on Seven. Wonder which season it was?
I donât know which exact season it was sorry.

From memory they were replaying the very first season of Popstars. The season that ended up producing Bardot.
Edit: However I am not too sure if that was 2008 or 2010 as I had a look at a 2008 guide and Popstars was being repeated at a similar time back then. It may have been a repeat of a repeat. 
Thanks mate, youâre a champion!

Donât believe so, ditto with the Friday Night games shown once the Cup was completed.

Spent a few hours at the National Library in Canberra today, scanned this TV Guide from âThe West Australianâ for Saturday 21 June 1986.
I knew about Ten programs being on 7 or 9 there since NEW-10 didnât begin there until 1988, but I was curuious to see âFamily Tiesâ on Nine, as I always thought Channel 7 had the rights to that.

Another one.
From âThe Sunday Tasmanianâ, Sun 1 July 1990, when Tas TV and Southern Cross were still solus operators. Iâm surprised how similar their schedules are

TVW7 wasnât yet part of the Seven Network. TVW7 and STW9 actually had a joint venture company, TV Facilities, which bought up shows from the east coast networks, then split shows between them. So in theory any show could have ended up either on 7 or 9.
Even though STW9 was an affiliate of the Nine Network by this time, it still had access to shows bought through the TV Facilities arrangement.

VIC regionals
30 December 1991 - the day before aggregation began from the Albury/Wodonga âBorder Mailâ⌠so no Southern Cross listed (VIC TV only listed with overlap/fortuitous reception from Shepparton). Seems like VIC was already reasonably well aligned to Nine before then anyway.
And further below 1st day of aggregation (1 Jan) in a new format

How did Albury residents receive SBS in 1992, as the Mt Baranduda transmitter did not carry SBS until around 1996? Wagga Wagga had an SBS translator in 1989 on Winans Hill but that was on limited power and only covered the city area. Maybe fortuitous reception from Mt Ulandra? Khancoban had an SBS translator since 1989 but that is also low power. Maybe SBS listings were in the Border Mail for the benefit of readers there.
Also the December 30 listing was the last day ever of Vic TV as an âindependentâ station carrying programmes from the Seven, Nine and Ten networks. And the last day of the BTV6 and GMV6 callsigns. The following day Sevenâs âNow You See Itâ shown at 10am in the morning was Vic TVâs last non-Nine programme. After that they followed the Nine schedule.
Albury had a head start with aggregation with Prime TV (incumbent), Vic TV and Southern Cross all on air on day 1. Prime had to wait until February 14 to get on air in Shepparton with test programming, and the last week of February in other parts of the state before going on air officially on March 1. This was due to delays in installing transmitters.

I suspect this is why⌠but yes, a bit misleading to publish it there when the vast majority of readers canât receive it.
I also posted a couple of articles in the âRegional TVâ history thread on the âBorder Mailâ coverage of aggregation.

I would suspect that it was for the benefit of those viewers in the Border Mailâs catchment who were north enough (Henty, Holbrook etc) to reliably get signals from Mt Ulandra (and to fill that fifth column with something else other than Sky Channel).
In Albury itself reception of anything from Mt Ulandra is very difficult even on FM, due to the hills to the north that impact on reception of signals from that direction- I would imagine that the SBS UHF signal would have been near impossible to receive in most areas even with an ultra high gain setup.

Around that time I knew people who had satellite TV setups that were able to receive ABC and SBS, including Shepparton TAFEâs Electronics Department in 1986, I saw an SBS test pattern on one of their TVs (this was six years before Mt Alexander got SBS) and was told it was via direct satellite.
