Just wondering, how has the ABC historically handled imported content which has been produced with ad breaks in mind?
The thing I’m wondering is - how did they manage to take care of the ad breaks? E.g. do they just remove the ads or do they try and make everything seem seamless (i.e. removal of the throw to commercial/welcome back bit…)?
The one I’m curious about in particular is when they aired The Tonight Show on ABC2 for a while.
If the episodes of The Office on ABC Comedy are anything to go by, they include the throws to break with a second-long pause and then resume the episode. It looks a little unusual, considering the first couple of lines of the next act of a show are usually a recap of what happened before the break, but you get used to it pretty quickly.
On The Bill, you often heard the end of the “break sting” (played at both sides of the break on ITV) at the start of the post-break scenes.
Apart from the ones already mentioned above…

Mate you are a bloody legend!!! 
Edit: Oops, I missed this thread!
Sorry to bother you but can I ask where you got your sources from (not that I think you’re lying, I just wanna know).
I got it from the Radio and Television Broadcasting Stations 1988 document that was published by the Department of Transport & Communications.
That’s okay, thanks for asking.

Out of all the main ABC stations, ABQ i believe had the most translator stations.
Does anyone know when abouts this microphone style and jacket logo (hard to see) was ued?
(Taken at Peter Janson’s place in Melbourne)
Probably mid to late 1970’s would be my guess.

Speaking of foreign news programming on SBS. Do they still put that disclaimer at the start saying that it “Does not endorse the content”
There’s also a possibility that they might’ve run into the odd lawsuit
