I don’t think we really have any protocols, just break into programs and go from there. It’s not like the stations are going to close with a slow rendition of God Save The Queen.

When Elizabeth II dies, I’d definitely expect Australian TV networks to have extended coverage for the initial news + funeral. But while I’m sure there’ll be some program schedule changes, I’m not sure if we’d see the ABC/Seven/Nine/Ten/SBS go as far as cancelling all programming.

Not sure why, but I had cause to recall that WIN had a daily chat show about 10 years ago hosted by Susie Elelman - whatever happened to it?

Years ago she had been a newsreader at WIN4 as well if I recall correctly. Before she went to Seven in Sydney in the '80s.

Susie was Promotions Manager at WIN when I was there in the early 80s … I bumped into her at Foxtel years later when she was a panelist on Beauty and the Beast … she also had a late night slot on 2GB at one time …

Yes, Susie ran for a few years on WIN from 2007 borne out of the affiliation disagreement with Nine. Effectively it was a local replacement for Mornings with Kerri-Anne and paired with Ellen (which had failed with Ten).

Fairly niche question this one.
This 1992 promo from Ten for Neighbours promotes the time “This Week 6.00”
YouTube: Liam Cam
I can’t imagine why it had to be at 6.00. There wouldn’t have been any sport or anything to bump it. Trying to think what it might be around that era. I would have thought all the Tens would be in sync by this stage as far as episodes go, unless maybe one city had fallen behind and were running double eps to catch up?

The Adelaide television guide in the Victor Harbor Times on NLA Trove is showing that Ten Adelaide around March to July 1992 had Neighbours at 6:00pm and Studs at 6:30pm. In Sydney and Melbourne Studs was at 6:00pm with Neighbours at 6:30pm.

Ok Another Question,
In News Bulletins in Melbourne, The last Permanent two Male Sharing News reading duties hosting in Melbourne was Sir Eric Pearce and Peter Hitchener in the 70’s for Channel Nine. Am I right? I do remember Charles Slade and David Johnson in the 80’s but they were not permanent?
I know of Two Male Newsreaders fronting the news in other Area of Australia… Like Don Seacombe and Paul Griffin and Frank Warrick in Brisbane and Kevin Crease and Rob Kelvin??? in Adelaide. Any other Two Male Newsreader that fronted the news in Australia?
I think Murray Finlay and Ray Dinneen were a combo on NBN3 back in the day?
Roger Climpson and Ross Symonds on Seven Sydney in the early '80s. Advertising campaign had the tagline “I get my news from the Seven news men”.

According to the book “Australian TV: The First 25 Years”, Eric Pearce and Jack Little formed the first newsreading “double” on Australian TV in the late 1950s on GTV9.
Michael Schildberger and Peter Hanrahan took over reading the news at ATV0 in November 1979. I don’t think it was intended to be a short-lived line-up but they did only last until February 1980, when the channel (which changed to 10 in the interim) replaced them with David Johnston and Jana Wendt.
Geoff Raymond and David Johnston did used to read the news together at HSV7 in the late 1960s. There was a video on YouTube of them at one stage, but not sure if it’s still there.
