Nine were still using these program titles in at least the early 2010s! With programming documents still in a typewriter font (at least GTV station - even though probably compiled in Sydney), as seen and AFAIK still available on TVT under Guides for a respective year.
Such as “The Late Late Movie” (usually after midnight).
In 2008 this timeslot often aired WB or Roadshow titles, usually first runs, even though some 8 years give or take down the track, clearly ones they had as part of those outputs, but didn’t feel suitable for prime time back when they could’ve premiered it, pre m/c of course. One I recall was the 2001 JLo thriller Angel Eyes.

It appears that I have gotten this one wrong. The whole recording has 2DayFM on it.

Perhaps whoever recorded it plugged their VCR into their Hi-fi system i.e. it wasn’t broadcast as such?

That ID was actually more soothing than the Network 0-28 one.

Back in the day, SBS was certainly different.

It certainly fit the intent of the channel a lot more. Before it ended on Foxtel SBS World Movies seemed to fit the of the bill than SBS itself even if it was only movies that couldn’t be shown on FTA.
BTW all the caps are from tapes that I have so will be uploaded in due time.

Hard to believe it’s been 31 years since they started using the Mercator logo.
