Found this on YouTube the other day. Does anyone recognise the song?

Was it used by one of the commercial networks?
I feel like this was used for an ABC TV campaign - mid-2000s?
Edit: this is what I’m thinking of; it’s similar, but not as identical to the song as I thought
I think Seven used that song for their signposts/lineups in around 2003.

Yep, that’s the one!

Here’s the Canberra Times article about Capital’s axing of the Illawarra local news window:
Eight Capital Television employees retrenched (Canberra Times, Dec 5 1989)
There’s also a 4 minute ‘Radio Edit’ version on Spotify.
Nice piece of music

It does for me. I like the jingle “Hey, Look at us Now!”
With thanks to @Zampakid for providing the footage, Royal Easter Show Opening Day coverage (Report & Partial Weather Preview) from Ten News Sydney - 22/3/2002:
Ten actually presented bulletins from a temporary studio at the Showgrounds back then, so a few glimpses of that set-up can be seen in the clip. Of course others probably remember more about these broadcasts than I do, so any additional information would be appreciated!

I liked the glass version of the X logo that ran for a comparatively short time in 1989 (before being replaced by the precursor of the current logo).
Example at the start of this video was one of the last broadcast.

Here’s another copy.
I really like this ident. Very ahead of its time for 89.

Re, the “X TEN” Idents: I personally prefer the majestic-sounding music of 1988 but the cutting edge-looking CGI of 1989!

Anyone have the original SES8 “Clock” logo, my friends?

Thanks.
Those clocks are a bit hard to read.
It took me a few moments to work out which was SA and which was VIC.
Speaking of clocks, I’d love to see the digital clock ATN-7 used in its “Seven National News” openers in the early 1980s. Not that it was anything spectacular.
I mean the 1966 SES8 logo, which TelevisionAU said that it was the 2 time zones clock that formed the number 8, my friends.
I’ve never seen the actual logo I only know what was written up in TV Times at the time of the station’s launch
This is my favourite TV clock / countdown though:

Though for sentimental reasons because I saw it a lot as a child, this one gets a special mention
YouTube: Regional TV Australia (who has re-created the clock very well!)

FLEMISHDOG: “Bloody rare TV here. Looking at old TV guide listings ABC seems to be the only thing listed for King Island specifically, did they get any other channels? Thanks so much for this very rare Tassie TV stuff.”
Can someone answer this question? The cue of this is the map, my friends.
ABC had ABKT11 on King Island though this was likely only a translator from ABNT3 Launceston which in turn was a relay from Hobart.
TNT9 (Southern Cross) had only a translator station on King Island.
TVT6 (WIN) from Hobart later established one post-aggregation in 1994.
Determined viewers there (if there were any) could probably have also had some luck picking up distant channels from Melbourne
