Number 96 is an Australian primetime soap opera that aired on 0-10 Network (the forerunner of what is now Network Ten) from 13 March 1972 to 11 August 1977, originally broadcast in the primetime slot of 8:30 pm for 5 x half-hour episodes every weeknight, then later 2 x one hour episodes screened per week.[2]

Originally it aired in black and white monochrome until halfway through its run. From March 1975, it was seen in colour as networks switched over to colour television broadcasting in Australia[1]
