All the Adelaide channels (except 44) broadcast in SD & HD widescreen digital now - much better quality. Technology has changed massively since 1987! The old SAS 10 building in Gilberton has since been demolished.
"It's the first time such a change has been made".
Not quite. Something similar happened in Melbourne in the early 60's. HSV7 was originally affiliated with TCN9 and GTV9 with ATN7. Then they swapped affliations and as with the two Adelaide stations, it had to do with ownership. Frank Packer, who owned TCN bought GTV.
I guess the difference is that they didn't change channel numbers.
I worked on the last ADS7 news telecast in Adelaide. I also worked on the last ADS10 news telecast from Adelaide before it was relocated to Melbourne. I don't think either change did anyone much good. We lost a whole lot more than we gained.
There was an oddly-similar swap in 1995 in Miami, Florida:
Television stations swapped channel numbers but not their affiliations - so the personalities that had appeared on one channel were on the other channel number, but they were connected with the same network (one key difference). Here, it seemed that numbers and affiliations swapped, so they appeared on the other channel AND were connected with different networks. (Confusing-sounding, isn't it?)
@raymieX Unlike the US, Australian major city station affiliations are closely linked to their channel numbers - it's the way our TV networks have developed and why our commercial networks have numerical names. Therefore, in the rare case of an affiliation swap logic dictates that frequencies are also swapped. Rural areas are somewhat different, although the advent of digital TV and LCNs has made it easier to do the same in those cases.
is it just me or is the seven logo they show a little warped compared to the standard one? it may be the encoding of the video, but it looks hand drawn.
This could explain the similarities in both SAS's and TVQ's campaigns in 1987.(Stand up and tell 'em Brisbane/Adelaides Great!)compared to Sydney and Melbourne (which had the same ID style {Aussie Flag and map} with different slogans)
