I think what might have happened was they initially avoided going up against Cop Shop which was successful on its nights. Then when Prisoner had strong ratings, they purposely put it up against Cop Shop. Here we go… Saturday: _Magnum PI_ Sunday: _Highway To Heaven_ (this one surprised me. In Melbourne, _HTH_ was always a Friday night series) Monday: _Return To Eden_ Tuesday: _Neighbours_ Wednesday: _The A Team_ Thursday: _Dallas_ Friday: _Prisoner_ (I suspect _Prisoner_ was past its prime by 1986, and some stations were losing interest in the series or dropping it altogether. TV0 I think (I can’t be sure) was one station that dropped the show ahead of its eventual axing later in the year) ---

Sons And Daughters being on decline at the time was the other reason I thought Return To Eden might have been at 7:30pm Wednesday. Also noting that The A Team’s popularity was starting to wane by 1986, with The A Team screening at around 11:30pm Wednesday night in either 1987 or 1988. ---

That Ten logo was unique. It’s a logo of it’s time but I’m curious about who came up with the concept. Seeing it as a child, I didn’t really think much about it. But looking it it now it makes me think there was probably some thought behind it. X is the Roman numeral for 10 and that the circumference is in fact made up of ten stylised Xes. ---

Off the back of @Didz awesome find capturing the first moments of Seven’s Mk.1 ‘Ribbon’ logo, I’ve managed to find a recording of its neering demise. From the evening of Saturday the 13th of September 2003, (and the early hours of Sunday the 14th), there are some telling signs it’s on the outs! Considering the amount of screen grabs I decided to take (I’m not usually this thorough), I’ve left them in their respective _Presentation_ and _News_ threads. **On-Air Presentation** > [@Seven On-Air Presentation 2002-03](https://forums.mediaspy.org/t/seven-on-air-presentation-2002-03/6362/34): > > Channel Seven Melbourne Saturday 13-Sunday 14 September 2003 2003 Rugby World Cup Idents **News** > [@Seven News and Current Affairs](https://forums.mediaspy.org/t/seven-news-and-current-affairs/10530/669): > > Channel Seven Melbourne Saturday 13 September 2003 News Update With Jennifer Keyte News Promo; ‘The Team Melbourne Relies On’ ---
