Bruce Ferrier. I think he originally did voiceovers just for the Sydney station, but was later heard across the network until around the mid-1990s when Matthew O’Sullivan (now on Nine of course) became the main voice of Channel Seven.

Yeah it’s Bruce Ferrier. He also was the main voice over for One FM 96.1 from about 1995 to 1997 and he also was main voice over for 2UE in about 2007 from memory.

If I were to hazard a guess, his voice was most likely heard on promos created for the entire network, as opposed to those made my each individual Seven station.

Hi all, does anyone one know how many years did the tv show “cross country” (hosted by Neil inall)run for?
I distinctly remember being surprised to see Neil Inall pop up on Prime when aggregation first started in southern NSW in 1989. My grandparents were Inall fans from his days at the ABC presenting Countrywide. They never understood why he was dropped from that show when he was such a class act. They also loved Allan Seale. I don’t know how long Prime had Cross Country on air prior to aggregation but I know it finished in around 1999.

Has the video been stretched or was the 1993 Bathurst 1000 filmed in widescreen?
The graphics don’t look like they are stretched. The cars look a little odd though.

looks stretched. The video is taken from the actual broadcast which would have been 4:3

can I ask what font is used?
That logo is just made up anyway - Southern Cross GTS/BKN became 7 Spencer Gulf.

A question regarding this post:
I think I’ve worked out where the station aired them from. From the 70s to the 80s, Warner Bros offered two syndicated sets of Looney Tunes cartoons, referred as “Porky Pig and His Friends” and “Bugs Bunny and Friends” on this page. Combined together, both sets offered 200+ Looney Tunes cartoons to TV stations, with the 1968 colourised shorts making up the bulk of the Porky Pig one.
Moving on to Capital 7 territory, I think they must’ve aired the Speedy Gonzales shorts a lot since a lot of Canberra locals I know remember the character quite well, even though there were very few across both syndication packages.

I guess it fits here the most.
Anyone checked out resources from the NFSA?
What should I expect for the process?

The AACTA website image gallery in tribute to Reg Grundy (https://www.aacta.org/reg-grundy/gallery/) has these images that sparked my curiosity…
They are clearly from Great Tempation which was a Grundy/ATN7 production for the Seven Network, but the studio cameras are labelled “NBN3”.
I’m stuck as to an explanation to why they’d be taping at NBN3?

Or it could be the other way round?
ATN could have leased NBNs cameras?
