The 1975 season was a significant moment for Australian television, as the first episode of Countdown's second season was the first scheduled program to be officially broadcast in color on ABC TV. The transition to color coincided with the show's move to its iconic Sunday 6 pm slot, allowing artists to be seen in all their flamboyant glory and helping to boost the careers of many Australian and international acts.
