I have been loading some info about Channel V shows on imdb and have been trying to find some images or videos.

Any chance you have a recording of The Dave and Kerley show from 2008?

On a slight tangent. When did Sky Channel commence? Correct me if i am wrong but it was the first TV of this kind in Australia. But also only available in pubs and clubs

There’s a Wikipedia page for TRL Australia which says originally hosted by Kyle Sandilands, Maz Compton and Jason Dundas.

The list of hosts throughout the years includes Lyndsey Rodrigues, Nathan Sapsford, Ash London, Angus O’Loughlin, Flex Mami and Lisa Hamilton.

After All, TRL originated from the American MTV and the Aussie MTV was Created from a Viacomization (term for rebrand into a Viacom Brand) in March 97 as before that since the June 96 Launch was known as ARC Music Television (i don’t think the Letters in ARC stand for Anything but i thought it was Austereo Roadshow Content)
