I love teaser ads and I have fond memories of these particular teaser ads from 10!
Here’s another one:
Until the big reveal:
The Simpsons parodied the teaser ad in the ‘Gabbo’ episode:

Not really except that it was a starring vehicle for Greg Evans to come across from Channel Ten/Perfect Match. It also featured Craig Campbell, formerly from Wombat and in more recent years an executive producer for The Project.

Spoiler Alert: not only did Say Gday not bury Perfect Match but Greg Evans returned to Ten to host it again 2 years later.

By the time he returned to Perfect Match the ratings were in a decline leading to its cancellation.

End of the Midday show in 1986:
Note the three different voiceover people in a short period of time.

I have come across a late 2001 recording from Melbourne where they seem to do a little bit of channel surfing.
Does 3/33 correlate to anything to analog Melbourne TV or is it Foxtel/Optus Vision channels?
9 is obviously Nine.

Networks had multiple voiceover people, that is how well the industry was running in those days. Programs would have their own voiceover people like Pete Smith and the network would have several vo talents to do promos and continuity.

3 and 33 looks to be the Showtime channels.

Was that Ballarat or Shepparton (or were they both the same at that time anyway?).

Closing credits from an episode of New Faces, with voice overs by Pete Smith and, I think, John Blackman signing off.
Followed by a promo for US sitcom Rhoda, with a voice that sounds a lot like John Deeks? Maybe he was doing voice over work for GTV9 before becoming a long term fixture at HSV7?

Shepparton. Ballarat had a different font.

It definitely sounds like John Deeks. There’s a few other videos on that channel but I’d like to see some more promos of the time.

I want to know what the station ID was back then.

Having watched a few Bold and Beautiful episodes from 2000 on Youtube (May have aired during the Sydney Olympic Games), can someone confirm if 10 used different production enders at the end of each episode? I know Australian Programs such as Neighbours, Video Hits etc. would feature the same production ender right after each episode and did other foreign shows such as Becker, Simpsons and Oprah had a 10 Production Ender featured at the very end of the program?
