THE HISTORY OF AUSTRALIAN TELEVISION
|
CLASSIC TV GUIDES Monday 18 January 1988 - MELBOURNE The official ratings survey for 1988 is still almost a month away but networks are already bringing out their big guns for the year. A number of key programs return for 1988. Seven launches its revamped and retitled half-hour news bulletin Seven Nightly News, its new current affairs program Hinch At Seven, and starts nightly episodes of Home And Away (after its movie-length pilot screened the previous night). Nine launches a revival of the A Current Affair title with former 60 Minutes reporter Jana Wendt as host. ABC and Seven cross live to Botany Bay, Sydney, for the arrival of the re-enacted First Fleet voyage as part of the Australian Bicentennial celebration. Source: The Age Green Guide, 14 January 1988 |
