Remember This? ATN7 Newspaper Advertisement (1968)

Below is a newspaper advertisement by ATN7 (Channel 7) to promote the programs to be featured on the TV channel on Wednesday, August 28 1968. This was sourced from The Sun newspaper on that same date.

At the time, Fairfax was the owner of ATN7, and its newspapers, including The Sun, could be used to cross-promote programming on Channel Seven. This is the same approach used by Nine Entertainment to promote the Nine Network and its newspapers, including The Sydney Morning Herald, in 2024.

Highlights included Roger Climpson (now 92 years of age and happily retired) reading the news at 6:30 pm, Coles $6 000 Question presented by Roland Strong at 7pm, along with The Mavis Bramston Show at 8:30pm followed by Motel at 9:30pm.

Every show on the lineup that evening was produced at the ATN7 studios at Epping, except for Coles $6 000 Question, which was produced in Melbourne at the HSV7 Studios.
