I Know This Will Be Very Difficult, But as a mad tv history fan I was hoping people would have access.
However im afraid the content that belongs in that building is restricted to ch 9 staff and not avaliable for lending to people.
It’s hard but i thought i would try. Anyone know?

Rare find on Youtube. GTW Channel 11 pre 1987 before it was taken over by GWN.

Not much in the way of a PRG…

possibly no station ID either, just a sponsorship board (18:20) before going to the next program

Thought this interesting, given the current conversation.

Much better than VEW-8 Kalgoorlie though, which was then called Mid Western Television or MWTV with the nickname “Might Work Tonight Viewers”.

I’ve heard horror stories of VEW trying to relay to towns down Great Eastern Hwy including Merredin using a line connected between Kal and Merredin with a video camera pointed at a TV set in Kal and sent down the line, which often dropped out.

I reckon the old Mining Television Network had similar challenges getting shows on air as they relied on videotapes being delivered to mining sites and that wasn’t always reliable, so I was told.

I was not aware his partner was Miffy Marsh. She was a GTV9 and 3AK presenter back in the 1960s.

The music in the new Me Bank ads reminded me of something…

As it turns out, this recollection was pretty close to the mark…
