I thought GTV9 still ran credits on Saturday nights??
If I recall it was Sunday 4th of December 1988 when GMV and BTV started to share the same programming feed and I think it was a year to the day later that they become VIC TV

Any opt - out until become VICTV?
They do run an extended ‘week that was’ on Saturday nights, but I haven’t seen them run credits with the vision.
Another question I was thinking about, what news bulletin other than Nine in Melbourne have ended the bulletin with credits?
Ten Melbourne used to run credits on a Friday night as the weekend was a national bulletin.
The handwritten cards??! So quaint even for 1985
And i remember the State Bank “hamburger” logo.

Good to see they followed the script Bruce provided them with, straight from 1979.
Such a good promo. Too soon?

Great find!
I don’t recall Barassi being on Ten, always associated him with HSV7 and World of Sport/ Sportsworld. Come to think of it, he probably would have been coaching Melbourne at the time.

A lot of big names at the time in that ad. This was Rupert Murdoch’s big push to be number 1.
with some free advertising for Coles at the start.

I want to know who was wearing the Greatest American Hero costume. It certainly wasn’t William Katt otherwise we would’ve seen a shot above the waist.
I came across this when I was going through some tapes this week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gyTkKbdsEU

Speaking of SES8 clocks…

True or False:
This is the last station ever in Australia (no matter that the station is ABC or commercial) to using clocks.
I guess the time difference was around 30 minutes and 15 seconds?
