Not really a mascot, but for a long time ATN7 had the cartoon kangaroo putting her joey to bed when the station would sign-off.

Fat Cat and Friends used to air on Channel TEN Adelaide in 1972-1987. In 1988 it was moved to SEven Adelaide. This show was cancelled in 1991, however Fat Cat continued to appear on Channel Seven Perth as well as the mascot during Perth’s Telethon.

Paired together with Tommy Leonetti singing My City of Sydney with shots of the Sydney Opera House still under construction, they were really joint mascots I think.

GMV6 originally had Joey the Clown in the 60s and early 70s (his alter ego Wally McQuaker died recently), and was superseded by Sam the puppet who was on the show “What’s Doing” with Kevin Loomes.
