In the wake of recent political events in Canberra and with an election campaign now in progress as a result, ATV0 becomes the first Melbourne channel to launch a regular one-hour newscast, Eyewitness Newshour. The format is short-lived, however, and the channel reverts Eyewitness News back to a half-hour format two months later.
All four channels broadcast the Australian Labor Party’s election speech by Gough Whitlam at 8.30pm.
