Plus there would have been some interest as Melbourne was the first market to have 4 stations.

Full pager too - interestingly no real call to action or contact details.

More research has been done about the TV Coverage of the 2000 Olympics and during the evening of the Opening Ceremony and apparently, a Mainland Television audience (Minus Australian Capital Territory) of 6,518,000 went to a standstill at 6:30 PM AEDT on Seven. During the evening of the closing ceremony (October 1), 6,641,000 Mainland TV viewers were watching Seven at 7:00 PM AEDT.

I wonder what programs on Nine and 10 had the most respective viewers during the Opening and Closing Ceremonies.

One of the programs Nine had scheduled during the Opening Ceremony (AEDT) was the Paul Hogan Movie in Almost an Angel at 9:30 PM Local time at the same exact time 10 had the second of the two movies Naked Gun scheduled local time (Following Matilda at 7:30 PM). You’d like to think all three movies would’ve rated a bit better than Best of Burkes Backyard (7:30 PM) and Farscape (8:30 PM) on Nine.

For the week 8-14 October 1978 in Sydney, TCN9 reclaimed the lead from ATN7 in prime-time.

TCN9: 34
ATN7: 29.5
TEN10: 25.3
ABN2: 11.2

Among the top titles were a repeat of The Sound Of Music on Nine (39) and Seven’s new mini-series Against The Wind (41), though both beaten by Are You Being Served? (42) :grimacing:

The Sammy Awards (ATN7) rated 25, and The Restless Years (TEN10) rated 26.
