I'm going to take a wild guess and say that this is around the time Tony Barber and Alyce Platt were replaced by Glenn Ridge and Jo Bailey.

And you would be right

An interesting fact on the two Tassie commercial channels...for a few years, both stations used the TasTV branding with separate newscasts in Launceston and Hobart; the split occured shortly after Tricom (now Southern Cross Broadcasting) purchased TNT9. Tasmania was preparing for aggregation, which saw TasTV (later purchased by WIN and affiliating to Nine) and Southern Cross (affiliating to Seven/Ten; both WIN and SC partner on a digital Ten station with SC getting first dibs on any Ten shows) expanding statewide.
