Adelaide, Australia TV schedule for Wednesday 19 July 1961. This is the first time I've posted an Adelaide schedule.
There were three stations to choose from, two commercial and one non-commercial (ABS-2).
Mostly U.S. series, but there are also locally-made series like "Adelaide Tonight" (a long-running variety show) as well as shows from other parts of Australia like "Swallow's Juniors".
