It seems you’re confusing the “segment theme” for the main theme. Prior to adopting their well-recognized theme, “Hey Hey It’s Saturday” used an instrumental version of “Cut the Cake” by Average White Band as its main theme.

Yes. Well spotted - black arm band. His hair looks the same too.
So that’s it. R19 Geelong at Telstra, one of his three goals that day maybe.

Not exactly sure where to exactly post this, but from tonight’s 7NEWS…
This also includes those with VHS tapes containing Australian TV content.
Paging @Zampakid, @rhettrospective, @Didz, @Petarkco and other TV archivists…

I’ve come across tapes that are over 40 years old and they’re still watchable/transferrable…

I have a few tapes lying around from my family. I converted some 6-7 years ago and some months ago.

Sorry. All of my tapes spontaneously combusted at Midnight on the first.

This would’ve also been the year that Seven regained the broadcasting rights to AFL and the Supercars, with White anchoring the coverage of the latter.
2007 ended up being a very successful year for the network, with a strong slate of international programming (Desperate Housewives, Lost, How I Met Your Mother and Heroes among other shows) as well as the strong performance of City Homicide (which IMO was a good replacement for Blue Heelers) seeing them overtake Nine for the first time in three decades (notwithstanding the year 2000), winning all but two weeks (though the two weeks that Nine did win, were both State of Origin weeks).

We have previously spoken (briefly) on how people have become so sensitive to some of the classic TV show and how we people would react if they were played now. But have we considered advertising campaigns and the ones that couldn’t play now. Below is YouTube video with 2 such advertising campaigns that couldn’t play these days, based on the language alone

Even at the time we found stuff like this pretty cringy. Jacko was a bit of a novelty though, and flavor of the month. His energiser TVCs were a bit of fun. And I guess that’s it. No one really took PSAs seriously until the grim reaper came along.

14 Years Ago. Makes me feel old. Really liked this Sunrise promo. It was something different.

Even had a minor Top 40 hit single with “I’m An Individual” back then.

Which led to a series of TV commercials.

From what I could gather, Price was due to have moved to Nine News Sydney towards the end of 2011, though ended up moving south anyway to take up a role with Sky News after his dismissal from QTQ. Then he joined Seven News in Sydney as a reporter between 2016-21.
FWIW, Price is now no longer on television news.

What Is The Best Logo In Australian Regional TV History That Isn’t The Capital 7 Flag Or NBN Split Circle?

The Capital flag is my favourite.
I like the 9-8 Tamworth/Taree silhouette logo too

The Mid State Television logo of the 1980s is one of my favourites. The Capital 7 flag is another favourite, primarily as it is the first regional channel I can remember due to visiting grandparents in Canberra back in the day.
