  • Does anyone know of any information on the net about the "Scan" series?

  • "Scan and "Behind the News" were both ABC educational programs produced in the 1970s. I recall watching both programs in 1974 and 75. The Moog synth instrumental theme tune to "Scan" was "Popcorn" released by Hot Butter. More info at memorabletv-dot-com

  • Do you by any chance have that first Scan program that appeared in full?

  • No. This is all we have. The person who inherited these tapes from his father, refused to send us the remaining ~ 100 1-hour reel-reel video tapes. We offered to pay all delivery charges, including a courier, but he wouldn't budge. He ended up trashing all the tapes. Quite a loss considering the rare 1974-76 ABC TV material.

  • What is that jingle saying at the beginning of the clip? It sounds like "Enlisted those shining bands", I know that isn't right!!

  • The promo tune was titled "Gray Days are Gone", which was a 1975 ABC TV clip promoting the B/W to colour transition. YouTube user 'telerecordings' has the full colour version of this clip.

    BTN premiered in 1969, was cancelled in 2003 and brought back in 2005.

  • Wow BTN is that old?

  • Well I can't recall NBN-3 Newcastle using them but that's not to say that they didn't use them

  • Great stuff, been wanting to see what they did for schools programmes in other countries for a while. Check out our British BBC and ITV schools clocks, there's loads on YouTube.

  • On "Scan", that creepy little guy is going to eat me in my sleep.

  • in Australia commercial stations used clocks eg. SAS10 Adelaide (dumped when they changed affiliation to Seven, some examples are on YouTube), GTS/BKN7 Port Pirie, GMV6 Shepparton (only at 7pm and closedown), BCV8 Bendigo (pre-colour), ATV0 Melbourne (1968, this is on Youtube), SES8 Mount Gambier (2 clocks in CST and EST), MTN9 Griffith (digital clock), NEN9 Tamworth (pre-Prime). Any others?

  • Our school was still using the Astor in 1982!! When I was in 3rd class.

  • Clocks were still used in 1995, in regional areas but since then all use has died out.

  • at 1:28, in the credits of BTN (cant believe that its still on), they're using the thick ABC logo
