Its puzzling as to why they would have such a logo prior to the affiliation changes. Perhaps it was a Bruce Gordon style move not realising what changes were to come by not signing the affiliation agreement with Nine

Bruce didn’t own TNQ, only WIN Southern NSW and RTQ Rockhampton at that point.
He didn’t own the Victorian and Tasmanian stations until about 1994.

I didnt say Bruce Gordon did, I referred to it being a Bruce Gordon style move, attempting to strong arm Nine, thinking the other two competitors had affiliation agreements set in concrete re the heavy promotion of their anticipated network partners.
However the suggestion that QTV were looking at both Seven and Ten as supply alternatives, demonstrated that QTV owners had no clue, given as quoted by a Sunshine Television spokesperson , the agreement was “signed, sealed and delivered”, in response to the last minute Nine affiliation steal by Star Television from QTV..

Maybe QTV was hoping against the odds that Sunshine/Seven hadn’t signed the dotted line in the same way it hadn’t with Nine.

Plus don’t forget it WAS the 1980s and regional. They didn’t necessarily have access to information like today.
Was This Morning a local, state or national show?
A local one. I think Nat Jefferys (6pm weather guy) hosted it.

‘Toowoomba Chronicle’ TV Guide
Monday 3 December 1990
A few weeks out from aggregation, Star TV still had some Channel Seven/Nine programs, though their schedule was mostly Channel Ten by then.
I also saw this Youtube clip from March 1990, they were still known as ‘Vision TV’ then. So the rebrand obviously came somewhere in between.

Western Bulldogs vs Essendon from Docklands (then called Telstra Dome) on Nine marks the end of an era with Nine broadcasting its last-ever Friday Night Football match 20 years ago tonight. 7 would be the home of Friday Night Football from 2007 until today

If that happened today, it would seem normal.

On this day 20 years ago, The Nine Network televised its final AFL match, Collingwood v Kangaroos from the MCG. Tony Jones was in the GTV-9 Melbourne Studio where he hosted the match. In Melbourne and Adelaide, they showed an abbreviated 1st half of the game, before airing the 2nd half of the game in full. Whereas in Perth, they screened the full match from 3pm, albeit on delay. After the match ended, Channel 9 screened a final montage of the Nine’s AFL coverage (2002-2006).
Following the conclusion of the home-and-away season, Network Ten broadcasted the remaining AFL matches (AFL Finals, the Brownlow Medal and the Grand Final). The following year, the Seven Network returned to broadcasting the AFL for the first time since September 2001 (where Seven aired Friday Night and Sunday Afternoon matches). Meanwhile, Network Ten retained the Saturday Afternoon and Saturday Night matches as well as the Queen’s Birthday Blockbusters. Finals Footy were screened on both Seven and 10.
When Channel 10 walked away from AFL in late 2011, Seven became the sole free-to-air media partner of the AFL. And this was set to continue until the end of 2031 season.
