Oh wow I had completely forgotten that between Southern Cross Network News and Southern Cross Nightly News there was Southern Cross Television News. Will have to check my poorly labeled VHS pile to see if I can dig up a bulletin.
Also I have one of those Southern Cross Television stickers somewhere in my safety deposit closet!

That Southern Cross Television News thing was kinda half arsed. It was still called SC Network News but the Supers during the program said SC Television News. I don’t think there was ever an opener with Television in the title.

Seems totally unnecessary to put the word “Television” in the title of a news bulletin. I don’t recall that being done anywhere else.

It was when they changed from Southern Cross Network to Television. A soft launch I suppose.

For a period in the 1960s GTV9 used Television City News - at least in guides, just a little before my time.

Before my time also, but I believe the name was in reference to the Bendigo Street studios being known as ‘Television City’

What ever happened to Elle McFeast?

In todays more image and health conscious society, she would have to call herself Elle McChickenWrap.
Did they also use that name at 6, or did the “SC Nightly News” brand (initially under that look of that logo IIRC) come in a year or two later?
Using “SCTV News” during the day would have mirrored what Seven metro was doing, where the “Nightly” brand was (obviously) only for the evening news and it was just “Seven News” during the day. And as you say, the brand would have just changed from “SC Network” to “SC Television” then so it wouldn’t have totally sounded out of place.
At least they worked out a decent enough re-wording of the Seven News “nobody knows news like…” jingle of the time.

Just dropped the previous message. Accessed the links and indeed they work very much well for me. It looks like they’re testing out things before they eventually launch fully on November 8th (the day of their 25th anniversary, by the way).
@TelevisionAU Just a little SES-8 for everyone here:
