For a long time I have heard/read where the country ( outside of the US of course ) that airs the most American TV was Canada. But after looking at these listings and others from "Down Under", I am surprised it wasn't Australia that held that "prize". It seemed that just about EVERYTHING that had aired on TV in the US at the time..aired in Australia as well.

Is US Television really that popular in Australia?

Apparently, that includes duds such as "The Ugliest Girl in Town".

At the least, they probably mimicked American television -- during the 1970s and 1980s, most of the commercial networks would use the same campaigns as the American networks used -- such as NBC's "Be There" on Seven, for example.

To this day, Seven and Nine (and their respective regional affiliates) use versions of US news music: Seven uses a version of The Mission, with Nine running a version of Cool Hand Luke...here's where you can find some samples of the Aussie versions, plus some from the other local nets:

Was Sesame Street a made for Australia version or the US episodes? Interesting that Romper Room was still around in 1980

That would make sense.

I know Austraila had a few stations that used "eyewitness news' and I think even "action news" news brands. I know Canada had a handful of stations that used "eyewitness news" but I never heard of any station in that country that used "action news" though. OTOH, I remember reading a long time ago were either the BBC or maybe it was ITV who thought about bringing "eyewitness news" to the UK but decided against it.

The name "Action News" was also used by a station in the Netherlands, which translated it into Dutch as "Actie Nieuws", as well as a station in Germany, which kept the English-language name.

The "Eyewitness News" name was never used in Europe, but several stations adopted elements of the Eyewitness News format.
