‘I felt the weight of the world on me’: 9/11, AI fakes, and getting bumped for Billy Connolly – Sandra Sully shares memories as Network 10 celebrates 60 years
On August 1, 1964, at four minutes to 8pm, Australian actor Brian James welcomed Melbourne audiences to a new television station.
“Channel 0 is now part of the life of Melbourne and the past that made us,” James boldly claimed, during the opening address of variety show, This Is It.
That was 60 years ago, today. And, while the station name has since changed, Channel 10 has become woven into the fabric of not only the Victorian capital, but indeed the entire country — and, with the international success of shows like Neighbours, the Channel 10 logo is familiar the world over.
