@anchorman87 LOL! Newsboats - something you'd expect to see on the Simpsons! :)

Brian Cahl I think he is

The date is Thursday, July 15, 1982.

This is a great bit of TV history! It's interesting to see how Australian TV news adopted American influences years before most European TV stations did.
BTW, is it just me, or do parts of this theme sound a bit like Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles? It's probably just me.

wow those Brissy stations loved their 'newsboats'

Hey, no need to be sarcastic! I was JUST asking because i didn't KNOW! Hell, for all I know, they could've and you ALL could've been Australian!
-
huh.. you know where Brisbane is, I don't have to ask, right?!

You guys are from the UK, RIGHT? I'm just asking because I'm from the States.

He was my English and History teacher in the mid-nineties - fantastic bloke! Quite rigid in his ways, but wonderful to learn from someone with so much experience in life.

U R right there !! .. TVQ 0-10 has had a kind of tradition of launching young female Anchors who have gone onto great success. I remember Jo Pearson co-reading with Brian Cahill in the late 1970s and she went on to ATV 10 Melbourne as did Marie-Louise for a spell. Also Robin Parkin debuted at 0 and then of course, Kay McGrath who is still at the top of her field on the top of the Mt Coot-tha in Brizzy !!
who are the newsreaders?

One of them is Kay McGrath (not shown in the clip). As for the bloke, I got no idea.
