I couldn’t understand this early morning scheduling - Daybreak News then GMA given these were 10 programs and Prime was at that point aligned to 7. As far as I know CBN6 (Midstate Television) didnt screen Daybreak News, but did NEN9 also screen Daybreak News? ---

Even though Prime was aligning itself to Seven ahead of aggregation, some existing non-Seven programs were still cherry picked and kept on Prime. As well as _Good Morning Australia_, see also _Midday_ and _Days Of Our Lives_. Then _Who’s The Boss?_ later in the night. _60 Minutes_ I think continued to be shown by Prime leading up to aggregation, though possibly in an alternative timeslot. ---

I remember 60 Minutes was after the Sunday movie in 1989 on CBN6. I do understand the GMA thing but not the Daybreak News as most regionals still started the day schedule at 7am ---

RVN not airing AFL back then? Maybe a rights issue? Always found Wagga Wagga to be one of those places where support for both AFL and Rugby League was strong. ---

I probably tend to agree, but there wouldn’t be much in it… This is Friday 12 August 1988, a night when both the VFL and NSWRL had games on. Albury only showed the VFL, but in prime time, and Wagga only showed the NSWRL game, but after the movie. ![image](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/4X/f/7/2/f72a857f90ddf0b5754a29bdc814cbaa04767979.jpeg) ---

> [@jcb301176](#): > > I couldn’t understand this early morning scheduling - Daybreak News then GMA given these were 10 programs and Prime was at that point aligned to 7. Was Daybreak News Daybreak from CNN? If so then it was also shown on 7 around 2-4am as part of News Overnight in the mid to late 80’s. That said, there are programs in that guide from all 3 commercial networks, e.g. The Midday Show and Days of Our Lives (9), Romper Room and Eleven AM (7), Good Morning Australia (10). ---

Although not a NSW schedule from a round that time the Melbourne TV guide listed Nine as having Early News and Business Today whilst Ten had Daybreak about a month later. Also 7 had TVAM. From memory i think from the first week in July 1988, that CBN6 tried the first hour of TVAM. ---
