Media is merely a reflection of the society that surrounds (and supports) it.
I grew up in Brisbane in the 80's, even with Comm Games (before my time) and Expo, the city was in a slumber.
Bill Gunn brought about Tony Fitzgerald's inquiry which saw Wayne Goss push a fresh broom through the state. Soorley and Borbidge helped too. Unfortunately, we slip back to the pre-1989 days with Beattie & now Bligh being in power too long. It's Joh time all over again, on a different tangent.
I only remembered him from It's A Knockout then from when he commentated on Rugby League. Usually Gold Coast Seagulls games that Ch9 televised in the early 90s.
Gee Ian Skippen thought Movember was a full time gig didn't he?? And there was Kay McGrath ... now Brissy's NUMBER ONE female newsreader at CH7. And Billy J pervalot Smith, watch out Billy J! 4BC may take over your radio show with Jamie Dunn too!!!
btvgmv6 took off all his videos (including all those TVQ vids)... I know, why don't we ask TVQ to set up a historical channel for the TV0 brand, with good wholesome helpings of Expo footage included as well?
I love this promo. Seeing the old Brisbane and kids actually playing outside on there go carts, not sitting inside on the internet. Love it

The 80's brought the synthesizer to everything, I'm sorry to say. It's not as good as the original campaign that that Detroit station used.

I remember some of these 'ol nuggets - Billy J. Smith, Rob Brough etc.. This advert makes Brisbane look retarded, which it is, I guess.

The jingle "Stand Up (Turn to)" was written by Gari for WKYC-TV's news operation. WKYC's slogan was in fact, "Turn to 3".

It's approximately 1000 miles north of Sydney
