Some stations did that, others played short segment shows within a show eg lotto draws etc
Footy Scoreboard on TV8/Southern Cross with Alan Besley was often quite entertaining to watch.
Especially when mentioning clubs like Tempy-Gorya-Patchewollock, and the mother-of-all thrashings in 1990 when Campbell’s Creek 100-34 (634) destroyed Primrose 3-0 (18).

Woah that’s a thumping and then some!
I do remember similar updates on GLV in its Ten Victoria days that would air on a Saturday night giving a brief run down of the local footy scores around the region. You’d hear stuff like “Boisdale-Briagolong defeated Glenaladale 37.17 (239) to 1.2 (8)” - it was a sport itself in seeing some of the more lopsided scoreline

Never knew/thought it was possible to score 100 goals in an Aussie Rules game!

I remember clubs like TGP (Tempy-Gorya-Patchewollock) and MDU (Meeniyan Dumbalk United) mentioned only by the initials, I was scratching my head figuring out what the initials mean!
On these Footy Scoreboard shows was there any Hilights of the games?
No.
Do you remember MDV-10 Mildura launching in 2006?
According to this ‘Maitland Mercury’ TV Guide I have from 1987, 9&8 Television (Tamworth/Taree) took Nine’s news that year (at least)… I always thought they took Channel Seven’s? Does anyone have any recollection of that?
I don’t know the answer but IIRC, ATN7 had a 45 minute news (plus 15 minute Sports Today) around that time, so regionals might have changed to sourcing national news from Nine with a half-hour bulletin?

From what I can recall, all rural TV stations in NSW that relayed the national news did so from TCN9 at the time.

NEN9/ECN8, NRN11/RTN8 and DDQ10/SDQ4 all took the state based editions of National Nine News once Seven Nightly News went to a 1 hour edition.
NEN9/ECN8 reverted to Seven News in 1988, whilst NRN11/RTN8 continued with National Nine News weekdays until July 1991. DDQ10/SDQ4 started airing Eyewitness News in 1988 (on air identity as Vision TV). I am unsure if it was locally produced or whether it was a delayed and edited version.
In late 1991, DDQ0/SDQ4 (DDQ10 had become DDQ0 by this stage) became the Nine affiliate, so reverted back to National Nine News - DDQ0/SDQ4 operated as Star Television briefly before being rebranded WIN.

the first bit is incorrect - 9-8 and NRTV 11-8 started taking National Nine News from TCN9 when ATN7’s news expanded to an hour in December 1984, 10-4-5a aired QTQ9’s news until mid-1983 when it and the other QLD regionals switched to Seven National News from BTQ7, but switched to TVQ0 Eyewitness News when BTQ7’s news became a 1-hour bulletin around April-May 1987.

Wasn’t TV0 news also 1-hour?

Here is a TV guide from 21 September 1987, courtesy of Television.au which lists DDQ10 having National News at 6pm and Here Tonight at 6:25pm. Also SEQ only had a news hour. The other regional stations listed National News for 1 hour, immediately after local news.
Interesting TV guide. What version of ‘Concentration’ was on at 9:30am on 7?
This aired at the end of an ad break during The Midday Movie, was it aired by mistake or were 11AM promos just like that?

I’ve always wondered why ten news is called Ten News [Capital City} in other states but it is called 10 News Queensland in the sunshine state. Does anybody know why? Is it because Queensland is the most decentralised?

It’s a similar situation for Seven and Nine. Best explanation is because naming the bulletin after Brisbane wouldn’t be well received on the Gold Coast that forms a large segment of the SEQ licence area.

Over the years I’ve seen quite a few ads for things that have taken place, e.g. late night ads for sales that ended on the same day, but the shops would have been closed by then, so it did happen from time to time.
