The traditional Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal dominates the day for HSV7 and is relayed through regional stations at various times of the day.
Being Good Friday, ABV2, GTV9 and ATV0 are on reduced schedules, and ABV2 cuts its 7.00pm news to 15 minutes and gives current affairs show This Day Tonight the night off.
