In January 1960 ATN-7 signed a three to four year deal with Paramount Pictures for “hundreds of films”. Could this have been an output deal, maybe?
SMH, 4 January 1960.

This is the first time I’ve heard that “makes sense” is a negative reply. No wonder I’ve lost all my friends over the years.
In all seriousness, doesn’t make sense mean just that? Never have I ever seen it used sarcastically or negatively.

I’m talking modern era of broadcasting and licencing (around mid-1980s onwards), but yes I’d imagine for that time it would’ve been?

10 had some paramount output in the 90s as I recall Th em airing some Star Trek movies like Insurrection etc. could be wrong though.
Ergh, @Tom_TV7 sincere apologies mate, I just re-read your reply and you were indeed agreeing saying what I wrote “made sense” (you weren’t having a go at my phrasing as I initially thought). Now I’m not reading comments properly! Too late for Sully I reckon 
Sorry too @killy06, and I deleted my comment to you.
Whoops, can’t believe I skipped this, I’m an idiot:
I’m sure my mod pals will have a hard laugh at this.

The SMH had an interview with Glen Kinging the program director of the Seven Network on 3 March 1981 about purchasing movies for television. This is a fascinating quote:
The movie was shown on Nine some years later, iirc. (?)

Then after that, it goes back to more stupid repeats of seinfeld and friends etc. I wish ten had more variety.

The promos get stranger… Today:
-
Seven News is promoted throughout the day (as normal) in the form of Updates.
-
The Latest is promoted only a couple of times during Seven News with Mel Doyle, pre-recorded and ingested by NPC Media during the ad break play-outs. Even though this was the main prime time program (7pm).
-
Red just gets that bad 5sec thing:
- Yet Bridget Jones: Edge of Reason gets a proper promo, even though it’s the later movie:

I noticed About a Boy is Nine’s 1pm movie today. IIRC used to be a Ten staple.

Yep, NBC-U. Previously on 10, then Seven and now Nine.
Pretty much all the Universal Pictures and subsidiary titles from mid-2000s or prior have gone like this…
