[JHollowayNetwork]

[ozbruder]

[arferdaley]

That was cool!

[zealman79]

god this makes me homesick and miss the 80's...

[arferdaley]

Seeing that TVNZ logo with the Southern Cross before Eyewitness...gives me the goosebumps for some reason!

[vinto34]

BILL ROLSTEN DOING THE COMMENTRY LOL

[boceebo]

[cyberzspace20]

Sadly Robin Kora has since passed away. Only last month I think :'(

[toncipivac2006]

Robin Kora was a great guy, he married my Aunty Paula.

[haydenchambers]

anyone have the oxford debate?

[wickedgame666]

i want it to, was it filmed or just audio i got audio but i want the video

[arferdaley]

yep, he does breakfast on Solid Gold.

Great video, by the way! :)

[thevisitortjn]

ahhh and Kevin Black an original "pirate", last time i saw him he was working 4 is it Radio Works Solid Gold ???

[azzabop]

Actually Blackie WASN'T a Hauraki Pirate at all. He joined Hauraki in the mid 70s long after the Tiri II came ashore in June 1970 and when Radio Hauraki was a legal PRIVATE radio station. A lot of people think he as out on the the 2 boats - Tiri & Tiri II, but he never was.

[thevisitortjn]

Indeed classic stuff. LOL Bill Ralston reporting, my how things have changed. ;-)

[winedemonium]

Classic stuff. Tumultuous time in NZ. I was 15 in 1987 but really into it all. Your tape reminds me just how long ago all that is now! I must search now for any Lange interviews.

[speakeasy365]

Ok... so still nothing much happening in NZ... who's Judy Bailey when she's at home?

[speakeasy365]

Dear God... did anything interesting happen in New Zealand at this time? I mean, a main story is about a DJ, (who looks like some kind of parody of himself), getting a pay rise and not leaving NZ...!

[SecretPassage]

Media stars getting paid lots is still news. Just think of the hooha around Judy Bailey's pay rise in 2004.

[DaMoNZL]

I don't remember the network logo so I must have moved to Oz around the time this was taken, but it looks like the '85 logo thats on my page but just angled a bit. Other than that, not bad.

I'm often surprised how many of you guys STILL have tapes with this material on it. Nice one.

[Duncster]

The news reader - there were comments about tokenism at the time ... chucked into a high profile slot without adequate training ...

Anybody know when Perigo left TVNZ because it was "brain dead"?

[RombieNZ]

I think it was during the TVNZ shake up in 1988/89. Could be wrong though.

[WorldNews92]

@Duncster I read he left in 1993, because that was when Libertarianz was founded.

[dannewsnz]

This is FANTASTIC.

Who is Robin Kora?
