5:30 on GLV10, Gippsland Teleclub: Interesting to see ventriloquist Rob Brodie and his dummy Scotty. I don’t know the exact dates, but by ‘66 Rob and Scotty were in Ballarat doing BTV6 Juniors, live, 5 days a week, I think for many years. He also had a monkey, Pepi, and people would literally send bananas in to the station via the post office (which they weren’t particularly fond of).

Free lunch!
But what’s different in programming before and after 4 December 1988 on BTV and GMV ???
Some of the programs were on at the same time but there were a few differences, but after that sunday on the 4th it was just one program feed apart from local news… I remember the date clearly as it fell on the same day as another thing of my life at the time. Television AU might have some more info on it, I think the first show I watch on that night after they join the same feed was the Hogan Family, funny the little things we remember.

U forgot commercials ???
I think that was a given haha… It is a long time ago but I think the prg graphic was a little different as well but only slighty
Not really any more than what you’ve already mentioned. AFAIK prior to syncing up in December 1988, BTV6 and GMV6 were largely programmed independently of each other but obviously had some similarities and had similar presentation elements such as on-air graphics etc.
Each station produced their own local news and had their own versions of The Morning Show (a mid-morning program that ended before aggregation came along).
BTV6 had produced the variety show Six Tonight (later Thursday Night Live) which in the last few years of its run in the 1980s was also broadcast through GMV6, the TV8 stations (BCV8/STV8/GLV8) and SES8 in Mount Gambier.

SIXNET - SES invisible link ???
(I mean that through the SIXNET and SES8 owners didn’t had any connection, both actually got similar presentation elements and programming also from SIXNET.
It’s somewhat coincidence that when VIC became part of WIN, it’s 5 years away from when SES-RTS became part of WIN)
I don’t think BTV6/GMV6 had any formal ties to SES8 but may have had some loose affiliation with each other. e.g. SES8’s “8” logo was of a similar style to the “6” logo of the others, and I seem to recall some sales connections between them.
I think it’s just a coincidence that they all ended up under WIN ownership in later years.
I remember how annoying it was when SES8 started having a similar program feed to BTV, as it meant not having as much choice in programming here but if I recall it was mostly in the evening… SES had a lot of seven programming before this but they were own by the same company as Seven Adelaide at the time… Scotts transport if I’m correst?
Superlarge Regional Network (SRN) comfirmed ??? (In US, a “State Network” (similar to Regional Network) is " a group of stations that shared “common local programming”, no matter about ownership)
Scotts owned SES8 but I am not sure of any connection to ADS7 which was owned (majority? outright? not sure) by the Herald and Weekly Times up until 1987.
Cheers I could be wrong I did hear it when I was young but that doesn’t mean it was correct
Somewhat interesting that after SESA TV aggregation happened in Dec '03, WIN SA taking dirty feed from WIN VIC (which mean that all programming on WIN SA is half-hour earlier (?)), outside of local news, some sports (until '10), and national news relay (?).
If WIN SA still taking dirty feed from WIN VIC, this can result an expanded main feed from the old SIX/SES days, @myfriend…
I don’t believe that SES (WIN SA) was a live direct feed from WIN in Victoria but someone may know this better than I. As far as I know its programming was still aligned to Central Standard Time (CST) not Eastern Standard Time.
Hmm…
But if that’s still the case right now, it will be, actually, the shadow of former SIX/SES partnership.
But I wonder… did SIX/SES “affliation partnership” continue in the VIC - and later - WINv days, @myfriend ???

- The Los Angeles Olympic Games take up much of the day and night on TV0.
- Hey Hey It’s Saturday Night at 9.30pm on Nine (it moved to 6.30pm and dropped the Night from the title later). This was the year HHIS moved to nights and IIRC was its first year showing in Brisbane
- Four Corners on ABC is only a half-hour program.
