Of course TV-am going down under and broadcasting from Australia was relatively easy to arrange due to Bruce Gyngell originally being from and having worked in Australia, and IIRC helped set up Channel 9 when it started over there. And of course it was another way round the strike.
Believe the imported/pre-recorded (Batman and the like) were only intended to be temporary. Did I read somewhere they aired Flipper as well? I know they were airing Popeye cartoons in the 7:30am slot as well.
Ironic really airing all that stuff helped save their bacon. Even though it wasn't "the" stuff that should have been on air.
