Slogan: The Best from the Past
This channel would air old shows that used to air on Channel Seven, including kids programs and some rebooted shows like The Big Breakfast, etc.
A typical schedule could look like this:
5:30am The Big Breakfast (reboot, in direct competition with Sunrise. James Tobin, who was one of the co-hosts of The Big Arvo when that show was axed in mid-2005, could be an ideal co-host for this show).
9:00am It’s Academic (repeats)
9:30am Million Dollar Minute (repeats)
10:00am Wheel of Fortune (repeats)
10:30am Deal or No Deal (repeats)
11:00am The Weakest Link (repeats)
12:00pm Movie
2:00pm Better Homes and Gardens (shows from before the show was revamped to a one-hour format in 2005)/Harry’s Practice
2:30pm The Great Outdoors (repeats)
3:00pm The Mole/The Amazing Race Australia/Beauty and the Geek Australia (repeats)
4:00pm Who Dares Wins? (repeats)
4:30pm Room for Improvement (from memory, this show made way for the 4:30pm news (then Target Iraq) that launched on Seven in March 2003).
5:00pm The Chase Australia (old episodes)
6:00pm Seven News SIMULCAST
7:00pm Home and Away (repeats) - NOT SIMULCAST
7:30pm My Kitchen Rules/House Rules/etc. (early seasons)
8:30pm Alias (Mondays, repeats), All Saints (Tuesdays, repeats), Blue Heelers (Wednesdays, repeats), City Homicide (Thursdays, repeats), Always Greener (Fridays, repeats)

yep - that’s the purpose of the channel.

I don’t get airing old episodes of The Chase Australia and Home and Away against new episodes on the main channel though?
And old eps of the reality shows against new episodes?

While you’re at it… may as well replay Seven Nightly News, Today Tonight, 11AM, Saturday Disney, Amazing and Agros Cartoon Connection.
Heck let’s replay the 2000 Olympics again.

Repeats of those shows (MKR, House Rules) would air well away from their present counterparts to prevent a clash (for example, old House Rules eps would air against new MKR, old MKR vs new House Rules, vice versa.) in the schedule.
Alternatively I would also swap around the 10:00am and 5:00pm hours (i.e. The Chase Australia at 10:00am and WOF/DoND at 5:00pm).

ProSport, a channel made to air SANFL, WAFL, VFL, NEAFL, Sheffield Shield, Marsh One Day Cup, Intrust Super Cup, NSWRL Junior Reps, Canterbury Cup, QRL, Women Intls outside Australia, Warm Up Matches and Motorsports, including NASCAR, IndyCar, Speedway and sprint cars.

I think this would be a very good sports channel. They could show state-based Football Leagues, Cricket and Rugby League matches as well as niche motorsports.

Close down could be replaced with Interesting and in depth schedule you go there.

Back in 1987, the Seven Network attempted to revert to its original name through a complete rebrand; however, the Seven Network name was ultimately kept and became the official name of the network with the Australian Television Network name being used in a secondary form and for network productions between 1987 and 1991.
The Australian Television Network name was first used in 1963 as ATN7 Sydney and HSV7 Melbourne came together. They would soon be joined by BTQ7 Brisbane and ADS7 Adelaide.

That is a fantastic idea!
You could also do with utilising Sandra Sully somewhere, probably in the 4:00pm local news.

I love this @utaussiefan - simple graphics, plus utilises the ‘News Now’ name which I like (although it was ruined by the crap Amber Sherlock and others showed)

Thanks, I’ve always liked the Nine News Now name but never liked it being used as a bulletin name instead of a channel.
