Southern Cross Ten - Northern Rivers Television 40th Anniversary ID

[martbd]

That's why aggregation and affiliation was dumb idea all those regional TV station lost their independence and all they are now are branch offices of the big 3 TV networks, with no more local content or programming decisions being made locally anymore.

I wonder if SC10 will do a similar ident next year when it is the 50th anniversary of the opening of BCV 8 Bendigo (SC's original station, SC10 transmits on BCV's old frequency).

Actually, the GET network also comprised NEN9/ECN8 Tamworth/Taree as well as NRN11/RTN8 and DDQ10/SDQ4. Each station was co-branded eg. GET 9-8, GET 11-8 and GET 10-4-5a.

@GarfieldFan83 I take it that that was 9/8 Television I saw at Port Macquarie

@IanGorton Yes it was. I remember watching ECN 8 Taree whe on holidays at Port Macquarie and NEN 9 Tamworth at home in Tamworth (of course)

Love this ID.. I actually remember GET.

Just a couple of correctins.. hope you don't mind.

GET was Great Eastland Television.. no "s" at the end of Eastland.

You also pointed out it was a collective including SDQ-4 Warwick.. that is true but the parent station was not RTQ-7.. that station is in Rockhampton.. it's parent at the time was DDQ-10 Toowoomba.

Ironically.. RTQ-7 and DDQ-10 are now collectively WIN TV.

GREAT Vid though.. thanks for posting !!

I actually have an old "GET" Bumper on Audio Tape from 1977 somewhere .. I hope to find and post it someday.

Oh, please do!

No worries, I'm happy to be corrected if I made a few mistakes.

I must have gotten Toowoomba and Rockhampton mixed up somewhere along the line.

I'll make the corrections now.

I remember this ID, well, it was only a few years ago. Interesting to see all previous logos.
