Monday 13 May 1968 — VICTORIA

Two new Australian-made daytime programs launched on the Seven Network — a soap opera, Motel, followed later by Marriage Confidential, following the daily life of a marriage counsellor.  The couples featured in the program are actors using information from real-life scenarios.

Motel, produced at ATN7 Sydney, is strategically scheduled for 12.30pm to avoid clashing with the popular US soap Days Of Our Lives.
