just fyi, in February 1986, BTQ7 had A Country Practice at 7.30 Sunday and Monday, Sons And Daughters at 7.30 Tuesday and Wednesday, and British sitcoms (repeats) on Thursday and Friday.

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.
Bryant Gumbel and “Today” covers the 1986 Russell Street bombing.
As with HWT down at 44 (the address is now “46” in 2025 for reasons unknown) Flinders St, that building in this screenshot is technically still there and technically heritage listed - but it’s “facadism” - only the outside shell and nothing that might have been a heritage valuable internal feature…
TVQ-0 Brisbane, knowing the quality of the picture it is likely recorded in SEQ. The only way that TVQ-0 would had been received in the ACT is during an E-Skip opening.
