The introduction of Colour Television locally, in Nineteen Seventy Five was a highly anticipated event.
In the early Seventies, locals were given a glimpse of colour TV at a local department store, filmed here by NBN News.
It was a big task for the local station…all new equipment was needed.

News presentation more informative, local sport more exciting…you could now see your team colours, and local businesses benefitted greatly.
