General TV History

Did CTC-7 change their logo between 1975 and 1978?

Who can verify this, my friends…??? (@TelevisionAU said that ABCTV went 24/7 in 1993)

I think Lloyd is mistaken.

Here is a program listing for the Northern Territory in 1993 showing ABC on air 24 hours: Monday 16 August 1993 — NORTHERN TERRITORY – Television.AU

@TelevisionAU, I wonder…:

  1. Barbara McCarthy is on ABC News NT or QLD, my friend???
  2. Another video on ytb had someone said that ABC began 24/7 from 2000 in NSW/VIC…
  3. Why NT, unlike other state (which already use the NETWORK [CALLSIGN] to name that channel/station after digital launch), still use the “traditional naming” when DTV started, my friemd…???
  1. Northern Territory. She is now Malarndirri McCarthy and a politician. She has also worked at SBS and NITV
  2. They are wrong
  3. Not sure I understand the question. But NT (like a lot of regional areas) did not get digital as early as the major capital cities did

You answered right at the question 3, my friend!!!
Look at these early 2000s TV Guide, my friend…


Oh I might have slipped up! But Darwin most likely still did not have DTV at that time.

I was under the impression that the roll-out of Digital TV in regional Australia started around 2004, with some larger areas (like Canberra, Newcastle, Wollongong and Hobart) getting it a little earlier but still behind the metropolitan markets.

I genuinely had no idea that the topic of the evolution of nationalisation and decrease of localism within the Australian national broadcaster would be so fascinating to Vietnamese teenagers until I came upon this thread.
