    As for the closedowns of the 7 Network, HSV-7 would often close down with their ID promo with John Deeks announcing, Sydney (ATN-7) would have Tommy Leonetti singing "My City of Sydney" (or Debbie Glasser's cartoon of the city on weekends), following by the kangaroo animation (with the announcer speaking or Beatles's "Good Night" in the background) and the abridged version of Advanced Australia Fair (it didn't become the official national anthem until 1984). Adelaide would have the announcer speaking for what would come the next day followed by the Good Night message and Advance Australia Fair (I'm not sure if it's the same one recorded by the ABC Orchestra?). Perth was essentially a shot of the skyline with the 7 logo, or their ID theme with the announcer in the background (?), I'm not sure what Brisbane would have? since not much stuff from the Brisbane station (BTQ-7) can be found at the time (aussiebeachut had plenty of them before his account got suspended in mid-2009, I'm not sure what happened to his tape library now).

WOR-TV in New York went 24/7 with "9 All Night" in 1979, The Movie Channel became 24/7 as a standalone channel in January 1, 1980. Cinemax broadcast 12 hours of programming from its launch until it became a 24-hour channel at the beginning of 1981 and Showtime was only 24 hours on weekends until July 4, 1981.

    Geez I liked those ads. Especially the few car ads that were featured. Like the Isuzu light truck ad. I couldn't go past the Holden Gemini sandpiper 2 commercial. That was the TE model from what I could see. Bit of a collector's car nowadays. How about the guy in the discount department store ad where he's riding on an electric topless buggy through the store promoting various specials on various items of furniture. Couldn't help but laugh at that one. Wouldn't fancy trying the same trick 42 years later with all the oh&s stuff that exists now although it seemed harmless. That old Taubmans paint commercial was catchy too. I wasn't even around then so it's always interesting to catch a glimpse of what life was like back in those days. Many significant events occurred in Australia back in 1981. I only know of a couple of them. The first being the Ford workers strike and correct me if I'm wrong on the second one but around that time, liberal prime Minister Malcolm Fraser successfully secured a second term in office I believe.

    Change just a few details, like a bit of vernacular slang here and there, and their vowels and avoiding the letter "r" at all costs (it's called a non-rhotic accent) - do that and almost all of these TV ads could just as easily be from 1981 USA. I grew up in the US and was 17 years old in '81 and then lived many years is Australia and New Zealand. In my humble (correct) opinion, Australia is by far the most Americanised country on Earth, with the obvious exception of our Canadian northern cousins. Time and time again, when Australia needed to come up with ideas they more often than not just copied the USA and then added their own downunder flair. It's a pity that so many Aussies seem Anti-US, but I reckon it gets old having the yanks shoved in your face all over social media, music, movies, TV, etc. Australia really needed to sort out its own sense of identity. Ok I just noticed another difference - 1981 American TV had black, brown and yellow people, but in Oz it was 110% *white!*
