David ,do you have any information on what’s happening in regards to the tribute ,I know last check says TBA but any idea at all , thanks.
I think you know by now I would post the info if I had it…. I do what I can.
I Grew Up in NSW And I Used to watch Brian Reading The News And Also Remember him hosting Bandstand until 1972 I Still think the Tribute Program should be broadcast Nationally on one of the 9 Network Channels
Should be a National Broadcast so people who used to live in NSW like me can see it
Agree, he was well known
I agree with npstanley80. Although Brian Henderson will be primarily remembered by people who grew up in NSW or the ACT watching him read the Sydney version of National Nine News, he also hosted a pop music TV show made at Channel 9 Sydney studios between the late 1950’s and the early 1970’S (before I was born) called “Bandstand”. I believe this show was seen in most other areas of Australia at the time. This is a reason why it should be broadcast nationwide on the Nine Network, in primetime in NSW/ACT and at a different timeslot in other states and territories.
For non Sydney audiences or people who miss the special, will it be avaliable on 9Now?
I would expect so but I don’t have that info.
Cool, no probs 🙂
