Hugh Cornish a pioneer of Queensland and Australian Television. I played lowrey Organ on Hugh's Gold Coast Tonight OB circa 1961 at Southport....and we met up on several occasions. Hugh went on to become GM of Queensland Television. I also knew QTQ's Hammond Organist Wilbur Kentwell, Worked with Max Blake the presenter/vocalist on QTQ...we even watched the station's first test patterns and programmes. fond memories of Hugh and QTQ...with many thanks to Pugsley2005....Stephen F Bandung Indonesia

The Mt. Coot-tha lookout... awesome.

Mmmmm, Hugh Cornish there, it was wrong of him to comment this year about the three journalists sacked - he is not working there, is not there in the moment. Discretion is the better part of valour and he should've remained silent.

What's the name of the music...It sounds like a version of I'm a Man by Spencer Davis Group....any ideas..?

Don't forget to tune into "50 Years of Nine For News" (probably the first of a few 50th specials from QTQ this year) on the 21st of March.

QTQ-9, always the stronghold for their birthday, just like 1984. I just hope they bring Hugh in for the "spectacular" that will happen on August 16.
