Neighbours began 34 years ago today (On 7 in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. It was a week later in Brisbane) Launched at a time when most soaps faded away after 6 or 7 years, to be still going for 34 is quite an achievement.

Some dude wrote about it in 2015:

It seems there might also be some Nine Network footage shown during “The Cult Of The Family” on ABC-TV tomorrow night, with the promo including a snippet of A Current Affair footage (presumably from the Late 80s or Early 90s) with Jana Wendt presenting:
Example opener for National Nine News Adelaide during 2008. Still using the SCA-produced 2006 graphics, even after a opener update?
Rare ident? Nice find!
As a bonus, here’s Sunraysia’s attempt to make a completely local design for NNN Perth in 2005-2006 (piror one has elements from the regular branding). Also, In Widescreen
I wouldn’t say the 2005-06 National Nine News Perth Opener was completely independently produced by the local station - those globe animations were used by the East Coast Nine stations in 2002/03 for National Nine News Promo Endtags.
National Nine News Perth - Weather And Closer (25.2.2006):
Channel Nine Perth - Lineup (25.2.2006):
Channel Nine Perth - 5 Second Ident + PG Classification Warning (25.2.2006):
Channel Nine Perth - Lineup And Sponsor Billboard (29.3.2006):
National Nine Morning News - Partial Bulletin (29.3.2006):
Back in 2006, I thought that Bob Peters did the voiceover for the sponsor billboards for Nine. During that year, he moved to Channel 10 to voiceover some shows. Phil Baildon has moved from Channel 10 to Nine at the start of 2006 to do some voiceovers. Currently Baildon is still at Nine.
Look at those petrol prices
Anyone remember a Yoplait commercial from the 80’s where the boy said ‘when i grow up i want to be a fireman.’
It’s French for yoghurt. No it’s not. 
Unfortunately i can’t find the ad on YouTube.
News update blooper from the post-dots-WIN-era Nine Perth…
An old news bulletin for any news junkies… Ilona Komesaroff reading Seven National News in Melbourne on 26 May 1982. (Mal Walden must have been away!) including reports from Mike Barrett (conducting an interview by telephone to Bangkok), Dermot O’Brien and Norm Beaman.

Gee, that’s a rare find!
The opener is so basic.
