Rage Retro Week 4 25th January 2013: Individual Timings Listing, 12.16am start time

...and here we go for Retro 4 :) Countdown items in bold

12.16am: Target Titles - 1976
12.17am: Target - Sherbet Special
12.21am: Countdown - December 2nd 1984
1.14am: Countdown - August 2nd 1981
2.09am: Rock Arena - December 16th 1986

Countdown September 26th 1982 ends at 3.53am - from 3.53am, the rest of the playlist is made up of the stuff that normally makes up a Rage friday night.

Thanks Frank

Yeah, the times have been spot on, unlike the playlists on the website. What can I say?...I would have been trying darn hard to guess the times while setting up the timer recording, like I usually do with bits and pieces off rage throughout the rest of the year.

And that'll be the Last Rage Goes Retro in Analogue Australia Wide.

Re: Rage Retro Week 4 25th January 2013: Individual Timings Listing, 12.16am start time

I see this Rock Arena episode only goes for 50 mins. I thought all Rock Arena's went for 1 hour?

Re: Rage Retro Week 4 25th January 2013: Individual Timings Listing, 12.16am start time

ABC are running late tonight, and for some reason my listing has dropped off.

I will have to tape it manually now. ie press Record when rage starts and let it run all night.



Re: Rage Retro Week 4 25th January 2013: Individual Timings Listing, 12.16am start time

Folks,

As you may have gathered, ABC are running late. No word on a new start time. Roll your recorders now just in case. Also set for 20 minutes extra just in case (4.13am finish and not 3.53am). I wonder what the hell happened for them to start My Family at just after midnight and not at 11.44pm. Nuts..

**EDIT: Rage started 12.34am. Changed start time was not advertised and EPG's plus listings were not updated to reflect the change and I received no word of any change whatsoever.

Re: Rage Retro Week 4 25th January 2013: Individual Timings Listing, 12.16am start time

Thank god the programming is all there so far, just pushed back 30min or so.

Re: Rage Retro Week 4 25th January 2013: Individual Timings Listing, 12.16am start time

Bye bye 18 minutes of JJJ crap clips.

Re: Rage Retro Week 4 25th January 2013: Individual Timings Listing, 12.16am start time

Didn't run late where I was....maybe the problems were fixed for Adelaide, not sure - all ran on time here.

Re: Rage Retro Week 4 25th January 2013: Individual Timings Listing, 12.16am start time

and @ James - yes I still have an analogue TV (I know, 'what?' I hear you cry!) and I'm happy the very last Countdown I recorded on it was from 1982.

Next week I'll finally purchase a digital TV - I have to seeing as the analogue signal is switched off forever in Adelaide on April 2.

Although to be totally honest - and having seen many other digital TV's at people's places - I've always thought the analogue picture quality was quite good anyway......

Re: Rage Retro Week 4 25th January 2013: Individual Timings Listing, 12.16am start time

I still use an analogue (though flat screen) TV, with a set top box to receive the digital signal (have done so for the last 5 years). As Rage isn't available in HD anymore, I am in no rush to "upgrade". Plus, 99% of the shows I'm interested in recording were all filmed before HD was around

Re: Rage Retro Week 4 25th January 2013: Individual Timings Listing, 12.16am start time

What happened was the "Australia celebrates" concert live from Sydney from 9.30pm ran grossly overtime - and rather than cut short that meaningless crap plus the two meaningless drivel repeat shows that followed, Rage airtime got reduced as it always does. I remember Rage broadcasts getting chopped back many years ago when some stupid meaningless tennis matches ran overtime - thank got they have got rid of that drivel off the ABC as well. Geez I hate tennis - it is really time to move out of Melbourne while that is on!! The great news was Retro remained untouched - the new release playlist got chopped up - at least some common sense prevailed.
