ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) station ID and test pattern from 1975 transferred from Philips VCR SP tape. This is an early example of the famous test pattern that's commonly used during station closes or breaks. There's over 3 minutes of test pattern with a popular disco music track of the time Gloria Gaynor "Never Can Say Goodbye" followed by just under 10 seconds of an ABC logo slide.

Was 1975 the year color tv came to Australia?

If the ident is ABC Television it's usually being fed to the network from the capital city. Saturday mornings they would drop the network feed as a test and all stations would transmit the local testcard. You would then see idents like ABEV1 Bendigo, ABRV3 Ballarat and so on. Rockhampton doesn't fit, so the ident was ABRQ3 Rockhampto. Sometimes we would see A.B.C. National TV in Victoria. That one (I was told) came from Sydney rather than Melbourne.
Those were the days.

Channel 10 also used this test pattern in the late 80s/early 90s (after dispensing with the BBC test card F featuring Carole in the mid 70s). Usually before morning programs. Very common. Pretty good video clip for a VHS transfer. Well done. (Y) (thumbs up for sharing this)

This test pattern was used during the 90's and was one of the best ways of telling us when we were younger that there was a bad thunderstorm approaching. Since the main repeater towers for the ABC, Channel 7 and SBS were located on the same mountain, if this ever came on when we were watching tv, we'd just have to go look out to the south west and we'd know why Art Attack or The Ferals had to be interrupted

ABC test pattern used to broadcast an amazing piece of music in the early 80s which I think was by Jan Akkerman. If anyone can shed some light on this it would be much appreciated as I have been searching for this piece of music ever since with no luck.
