meanwhile, @JBar dogs any ideas that isn’t his own but then promotes his ideas as the best thing since sliced bread.
Actually, no if you were aware of how the TV industry works, it was the supply cost of those programs, firstly Young and the Restless was dropped for the ill-fared the Catch-up, then Days of Our Lives and Nine opted for movies. Seven and Ten deemed them as too expensive.
Nine aired General Hospital from 1983 and dropped General Hospital in the late 80s and it aired in Ten on and off at 4am or 5am in the morning during the 90s before being dropped. but if aired at a decent time, it might rate.
It was on Seven prior to 1983
Also in the 1996, Seven trialled a week day 5pm news bulletin and it failed, but an afternoon bulletin returned in 2003 (and extended to conclude at 5:30pm in 2012) and has since worked
