Was this used in 1969 or 1970?

The Seven News Melbourne bulletin from September 2, 2000 - the day Essendon defeated Melbourne to win its 16th (and most recent) premiership.

Also a nice touch by ending the bulletin with the Essendon club song rather than the Seven News closer.

From this clip, would you say Peter Mitchell’s presenting style has changed?

Practice makes perfect.

PRG from HSV7’s airing of Death Of A Centrefold. Death of a Centerfold . Jamie Lee Curtis TV Movie Part 1 - YouTube (YouTube: Mike Squier)

The font used for the show title is not one I recall at all. Not sure what year this was, the telemovie was made in 1981 so it might have been 1982 or even later by the time it aired here.

Footage from what is believed to be the first episode of Nightmoves which would date it as 13 May 1977, hosted by Lee Simon (then of 3XY, later to EON and Triple M FM).

Plus, look for Ivan Hutchinson doing an ad for the Pancake Parlour and its “crap” (crêpes) suzettes :stuck_out_tongue:

Nightmoves later moved to Ten, and then had a brief run on Nine under the new name of Rockit!

Some background on Lee Simon and the early days of Nightmoves, courtesy of The Australian Women’s Weekly in 1980:

I have been a big fan of the “Hello” image campaign which has been used all over the world. Many Australian stations used it as well, and HSV had quite a few versions of “Hello Melbourne”.

Anyway I came across this gem which was part of the 1986 HSV Christmas Tape. I’m not sure if any of you have seen this before but since it is the first time I have come across it I thought I would post it.

This of course was at a time when Seven was in trouble and the sharks were circling. The staff at HSV were clearly nervous and we all know how things turned out so they had good reason to be. History may repeat itself with the way Seven is travelling these days.
