This book is the first history of commercial television in regional
Australia, where diverse communities are spread across vast
distances and multiple time zones. The first station, GLV Latrobe
Valley, began broadcasting in December 1961. By the late 1970s,
there were 35 independent commercial stations throughout regional
Australia, from Cairns in the far north-east to Bunbury in the far
south-west. Based on fine-grained archival research and extensive
interviews, the book examines the key political, regulatory,
economic, technological, industrial, and social developments which
have shaped the industry over the past 60 years. Regional
television is often dismissed as a mere extension of - or footnote
to - the development of Australia's three metropolitan commercial
television networks. Michael Thurlow's study reveals an industry
which, at its peak, was at the economic and social heart of
regional communities, employing thousands of people and providing
vital programming for viewers in provincial cities and small towns
across Australia.
