On the WWE Superstars of wrestling end card the numerals say 1988. Was this a repeat or did this air on a 6 month delay? Cos when Network Ten aired WWE Superstars and RAW from 1995 to 1999 It aired on a 2 week delay but in 1998 due to live coverage of sports they had to change it to 6 months with the exception of Monday Night RAW.
Ahh yes I remember the station closing when I was 10. Friday night was the only night I was allowd to stay up late watching TV. The WWF was the last show of the night. Thanks for posting.
Yeah they did. In fact when I was ripping up the old lino at my Nan's old house I found a heap of newspaper under it. It was the Newcastle Herald from that year and in the TV Guide section it even showed Wrestlemania.
Seems a mate of mine was right when he said that back then the wrestling was on late at night just before the test pattern came on.
Also am I correct when I say the guy doing the announcement's name is Wal Morrison? He use to to all of NBN's voice over work. He still does quite a few radio ad here too
Ha! Ray Dineen's news VO sounded like he just stepped out of a time machine returning from the 1950s!
Great video!
TNT9 in Launceston also liked to list all of their translator locations, even with some town populations under 800 (I guess it made it sound like they were watched all over the place).
As you know, today, NBN represents the Nine Network's fourth biggest potential audience behind Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane... Also, NBN gets Nine the highest ratings around the country.
Yet, like NTD9 Darwin, NBN's success doesn't mean anything to the network compared to... Say, a resurgent STW9 Perth (if it ever happens).
If anyone wants to trade other 1980s NBN3 video or other pre-aggregation regional TV material, I also have 3 hours of NBN3 recorded circa 1988 signing on for the day with "The Big Dog" program and original commercials.
Well I have one from c1982. My step father taped Not The Nine O'Clock News off NBN at the time and it has quite a few ads through it. Just wish I could get the other tape he has/had cuz it has more ads through it.
I alos have another one from 1991 as well of All Together Now
There is no free lunch when it comes to sourcing 1970s archive Aust TV on video. I spent money on advertising during the 1990s, including considerable time on editing and transfers to VHS/DVD. I literally had to run through hundreds of tapes in order to extract the highlights. My suggestion is place a wanted ad in the local newspaper. Contact all the local educational facilities for surplus U-matic or 1" reel to reel videos. You never know there could be some NBN3 among all the ABHN5A material.
I wish I could help, the only NBN-3 stuff I do have was after aggregation (still using the original graphics) and I've already posted it on YouTube. I wish I hadn't taped over that Dr. No tape in the 90's...
I do agree when it comes to the "no free lunch" comment. I'm always appreciative when I see something like this on YouTube.
no i remember NBN running all its programs off channel 9, prime running off channel 7 and capitol and NRTV running off channel 10 and i'm pretty sure that was around 1990/91
that was aggregation, meaning that nbn was affiliated and took its progamming from the nine network, but still being a seperate entity, much like the win network is today.
I'd thought I'd never see a NBN closedown on YouTube, but you have well and truly delivered the goods mate!
Loved the American-style sign-off message listing translators, studio and transmitter location, power output, even the rather formal "Our transmission is about to close"...sensational stuff!
Interesting to see NBN using the same closedown as Midstate 6-8-9 and MTN-9, although I'd dare say it would've been used across a few stations.
Glad the NBN3 sign/off video was of interest. I actually watched NBN3 from Muswellbrook during 1968-1970, and Toukley in 1971. Hence, I'm familar with B/W era NBN3 programs. I recall Roving Eye was broadcast around 1970. I actually have some 1971 RVN2 Roving Eye TV episodes on video.

I also assume that they'd switch the transmitter off at some point too. Or did they have the test pattern on all night?
IanGorton 2 years ago
I did not know that NBN Used to air WWF (Now WWE) Programming back in the 80's.
kiltsonfire164 2 years ago
Yeah they did. In fact when I was ripping up the old lino at my Nan's old house I found a heap of newspaper under it. It was the Newcastle Herald from that year and in the TV Guide section it even showed Wrestlemania.

Was that in 85 Ian. Threw out the betamax recording of it last year.

Yeah true. Mind you NBN even before aggrigation was a regional TV station that covered an area the size of the whole of Tasmania.
ie Central Coast all the way up to Murriundi
IanGorton 3 years ago
Yes, and with a much larger population base!
As you know, today, NBN represents the Nine Network's fourth biggest potential audience behind Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane... Also, NBN gets Nine the highest ratings around the country.
