STOP PRESS: TV in Australia celebrates it's 75th Birthday in 2009 !!

"Good Evening and welcome to Television.. " the words uttered by Bruce Gyngell on the FIRST night of TV Broadcasting in Australia in Sydney in 1956.. or was it ?

One of Australia's best kept scientific and broadcasting secrets is that TV in the southern hemisphere was actually born in Brisbane in 1934.

Next year Queensland turns 150.. Brisbane's QTQ 9, BTQ 7 and ABQ 2 will commemorate 50 years on air and Television itself will celebrate it's 75th Birthday.

It was in Brisbane that TV Pioneers, Tom Elliott and Val McDowall began regular albeit experimental 30 line transmissions from the Tower Mill on Wickham Terrace in April of 1934.

The late Bruce Gyngell himself paid tribute to these Pioneers admitting he was NOT the first face on Australian Television when he presented the inaugural Eugene Goosens lecture in 1993.

G'day .. I have been collecting Promos,IDs, News items and clips from here in Australia and around the world since 1977.

Many of the Videos posted have been recorded either on BETAMAX or VHS and have been converted to DVD and then XviD, DivX and WMV for upload. These Videos were recorded in various locations in line with where I was working at the time, here in Australia and around the World.. Lucky they lasted the distance to be posted here on YouTube.

Videos dated 1988 onwards were recorded in STEREO, however some may sound mono because the Broadcasters in some regional areas where I recorded them were not yet transmitting in stereo.

Thanks again for all the positive feedback you have given me so far.. I will endeavour to continue bringing more priceless memories to video life in 2008 and the years to come.

PLEASE NOTE: The Videos posted remain the copyright of the Broadcasters listed and are shared here for Educational and Historical purposes.

Bruce Paige on QTQ-9 news tonight, "in a happy end to the story, Bruce's bacon has been saved"

Couldn't help seeing the irony of Bruce reading the story about the namesake pig with his contract up for renewal this year.

Am sure his bacon will be saved (not that it really needed it).

Hey Aussiebeachut

On the video: ATV Channel 10 Melbourne Cup Id 1995. At the beginning of that video I saw the end of a Melrose Place promo on that video. Can you please upload the Melrose Place promo that was shown before the Network Ten Logo?
Chowchillah (3 weeks ago)
Thanks for accepting my friend request.

Can you upload the extended version of 7's "Let's All Be There" promo from 1986? I haven't seen it since GrubcoTV's account was axed.

Also, how do you encode your videos in AB-HD? The quality is EXCELLENT!

thanks for the invite. wow, you have almost as many channel views as me!! :P
it's cool that you live in Oz, my friend is desperate to move out there (Sydney), he says I should go to, but i don't have a trade so i don't think i'd be let in. :-(
you guys are a bit stricter than us with regards letting immigrants in. unfortuntaley we let any old, Tom, Dickhead or Abdul in these days. :-(
