General TV History

No, it’s because the AMV transmitter was, and still is, at Mt Baranduda in Victoria. The location of the transmitter is the determining factor, not which city it’s licensed to or where studios etc are.

Interestingly, the transmitters for the two commercial FM stations in the local area are at Mount Baranduda but have NSW call signs (Hit 104.9-2AAY, 105.7 Triple M-2BDR).

Saw this ID on the Morning Show’s tribute to 57 years of Seven. Not sure if ATN7 or ADS7.

It’s probably a piece of library music considering that this American station seems to have used the same music for station IDs…

How’s this for a clean version? Can’t get much cleaner than The Osmonds.

Definitely not library music. IIRC Gari Communications, who write a lot of TV/radio musics, marketed the theme and use of lyrics for exclusive one-per-market use through North America and a few other countries, like Australia.

Some coverage today in Brisbane of the 30th anniversary of the Broncos first competition game on 6 March 1988.

Prior to that, their first TV appearance was for a trial match. This is the opener for that game.

So that’s where all the Mike Walsh Show vision ended up. So much TV gold.

Also from the “plainsvideo” collection, the 13/4/2003 Ten Late News bulletin with Frank Colletta filling in (audio quality isn’t great though):

Interestingly, regular weekend 5pm/Late News presenter of the time Tracey Spicer presented the 5pm news earlier in the day from a different and temporary-looking set (with thanks to @Zampakid for this clip):

About a month ago, I got a tweet from someone saying that they remember Ten News broadcasting bulletins from the Sydney Royal Easter Show in 2003 - could that be the reason for the temporary-looking set and faint background noise during that 5pm news clip? Afterall, the event was held between April 11-24 that year IIRC.

Interestingly enough, I distinctively remember the ferris wheel at the show having a Ten logo on it for a few years but for some reason I don’t really remember Ten presenting news bulletins there apart from maybe Tim Bailey doing the weather at the Homebush showgrounds.

It’s not a whole ep but here’s about half of the show from 1990. There’s a few segments in there (Viewer Faxes, Weather) but mainly news and interviews. Hope it helps.

Is there a point to these?

They were regular segments broadcast on TV about 20 years ago, some of them have the Channel 7 branding on them and they’re in fairly decent quality so I thought it’d be alright to post them here?

Sometimes it’s good just to give a bit of context IMO Posting slabs of videos with no commentary just comes across as a bit spammy.
