Random TV History

I like that SC Tasmania OB truck. Actually, that whole logo package was pretty damn good.

for some reason Queensland regional stations had a thing for hexagons in the 1980s

What year was that one? I remember “We’re for you” in the early 80s and those jingles, but not 'Just for you".

There was Watch Us Perform.

I don’t remember that either! What year was that?

Early 80s, late 70s IIRC.

Of course we cannot forget when Today reporter Jessica Millward and her report on a resident trying to chase someone who had crashed into a fish and chip shop in Brisbane went viral in November 2016.

I remember the very next day, he was interviewed in-studio on Sunrise.

Funny you mention that. I recently came across a couple if old NBN listings from 1977. A Wednesday and a Saturday. The Saturday one they signed off at Midnight, but the Wednesday one they we on until 3am. In the later hours they had a couple late night movies.

Also i agree with the radio and music. I pribably would have bought a walkman when they first came out.
