If you dive into TVNZ+ and watch Classic Country Calendar Ep16 (Bendigo Station), out of both ad-breaks the 1992 ONE logo and classification appears.
Lots of rabbit shooting too, Happy belated Easter.

Here is one of Sky’s old test cards. It was shown during closedown.
When Sky began transmission on 18 May 1990, there were three channels: Sky Sport, Sky Movies and Sky News (a mix of CNN and BBC content). Each channel was transmitted on scrambled UHF frequencies and a VideoCrypt decoder and UHF aerial were required to unscramble the signal.
Initially, Sky News was the only channel to be transmitted 24 hours a day while Sky Sport and Sky Movies ran from noon until around midnight, seven days a week, with Sky Sport offering live sport outside its normal transmission hours.
It wasn’t until July 1991 that Sky Sport moved to 24-hour transmission and carried a direct satellite feed of ESPN overnight.
This left Sky Movies as the only channel with a nightly closedown until late 1996. However, 24-hour transmission was introduced in February 1992, initially on Friday and Saturday nights and during public holidays (e.g. Easter).
