I have found a snapshot of the TVNZ newsroom in Auckland and this is what it looked like in 1989.

Everything’s changed these days.

A bit of an update on the ABC’s Studio 26 in Sydney. Their former offices in Selwyn Street Elsternwick (not to be confused with the Gordon Street studios) are also mentioned.

I’ve lived in Leopold (east of Geelong) my whole life so the twin transmitters for 3CW have always been part of the landscape. Today I noticed that only 1 of them is still standing. I don’t know when the other was pulled down. No surprise as 3CW has been off air for a while now and the land is being developed.

QTQ’s Ku band satellite antenna is one of the last big satellite antennas left in Brisbane now: The big Ku band antenna at Optus Rochedale has now been demolished. I would imagine Nine still has a satellite transponder for disaster recovery and SNG but they are becoming a relic of a bygone era now fibre is everywhere.

I believe Nine use Intelsat 19 as disaster recovery - they’ve had a few transponders there for a while

Here’s a couple of photos I managed to quickly get of Geelong’s main FM radio transmitter just out of Drysdale. KRock, Bay 93.9, 96three and The Pulse all come out of here. Kix Country is transmitted from Wandana Heights, as is Vision Australia I think.

Didn’t the Chinese radio AM towers also neighbour those?

No, those were closer to Geelong at Leopold. Only 1 of them is still standing. Both transmitters belong to Geelong Broadcasters (Grants).

What does that transmit these days?
