This probably would have been the grand final of the AFL’s Wizard Cup preseason competition, between Carlton and West Coast.
No GLV8 there either… were their listings on the same page as SBS? Or did they run the same schedule as BCV that day?

Yes, I’ve found the full telecast on YouTube! Thank you!
I’ve also found excerpts of this broadcast on YT, but I’m surprised to see Ten’s logo on the stadium.
GLV was listed in the “Victoria” (Melbourne) edition, this one is “Country”, but GLV’s schedule was identical to BCV/STV anyway.
Country (Vic) edition didn’t include SBS listings at all until early 90s when SBS started expanding into regional areas.

They broadcast AFL at that time along with Nine and Fox Footy.

The last 7.00pm edition of Willesee after being in that timeslot for 5 years. From Monday it gets bumped to 11pm to make room for Seven’s new soapie Sons And Daughters
I don’t recall how long Willesee lasted in the late night slot but I gather it was not for very long before it was quietly let go

The first bulletin for Seven Nightly News, with Glenn Taylor and Jennifer Keyte. And from memory, the bulletins were commercial free right up until sport.

And two of the presenters read the news tonight in Melbourne on different channels.

Love the program at 7am on HSV7 - Potty Time. 
Is it for those toilet training?
Is it for those with potty mouths?
Is it a universal alert for everyone in Melbourne to go to the toilet?

ABC showed Sheffield Shield cricket matches (Queensland v WA and Queensland v SA) in the afternoon. Very rare.
The final session of Sheffield Shield was broadcast to competing states up until mid 80s from memory. I can remember my massive cricket nut of a brother being pissed off the season they stopped.
hehe
it’s a UK kids show, the “Potties” are puppets

Looks like similar to ABD6 in Darwin and operates as a relay of ABQ2 from Brisbane but with a “Territory News” insert at 6.25

Interesting that they were obviously broadcasting the schedule on eastern time without delay.
I wonder where the 7pm news at 6.30 was coming from? It obviously wasn’t local because there’s also a 5 minute “Territory News” on the schedule.
EDIT: Just saw @TelevisionAU’s post… a relay from Brisbane would make sense

Wait #myfriend… [quote=“TelevisionAU, post:3507, topic:137”]
My understanding is that ABAD7 (Alice Springs) went from being on tape-delay from ABS2 Adelaide to a relay station of ABS2. Maybe early 1980s? Was probably easier to connect to Adelaide rather than Darwin.
[/quote]
(Probably ABC had a small microwave system to link from Alice to Tennant #myfriends)
Not sure about TV ops pre-Aussat, but in radio 8HA used to take their national news feed from 5DN rather than Darwin (or anywhere else).
It would seem there was some sort of broadcast telecommunications infrastructure between Adelaide and Alice Springs. A lot of assumption there but it seems vaguely reasonable.
Of course after Aussat was launched all of that changed for both TV and radio.

The last day of ATV0, relaunching at 10 the next day. TV Week listing shows both “10/0” channel numbers for the whole week. (Possibly their templates didn’t have the option to list “ATV0” on Saturday and “ATV10” for the rest of the week, so just showed both numbers? I don’t know)

Didn’t ATV remain on the 0 signal for a brief period following the move to 10?
