As I grew up there were a number of TV shows and pres items that became associated with particular events or periods of time in my life.
"One Network News" aired at 6PM every night, and was non-negociable according to my parents - with a bit of bonus continuity and sports pres on this occasion

Family viewing started with this until probably 1995, not my cup of tea, but I didn't yet control the remote

This announcement marked the beginning of post-watershed programming for the evening, and also bedtime for me for most of my childhood years. I think these ended around 1999.

This theme signaled time to start preparing for school during my high school years. If I wasn't already in the lounge at this point, one of my parents would enter my room, turn on the light, and then leave
