Content Survey Live: Yesterday's Hero: Round 2: Night 4: The Post-Sharyn Conversation Part 2.

 The conversation continues... as we remember, this Anzac Day with the most powerful part of Laurence Binyon's 1914 poem "For The Fallen":

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning.
We will remember them.

Lest we forget.

The final night of the second round of Content Survey Live in 2025, is dedicated to the journalists and war correspondents who put their lives on the line on the battlefield to give us the story from the frontline, as well as to the memory of the Balibo Five (Greg Shackleton, Tony Stewart, Gary Cunningham, Brian Peters and Malcolm Rennie), and the Australian journalist who went to East Timor (just before the Indonesian invasion) to find out about the Balibo Five's fate, only to not come home himself: Roger East.

Welcome to the final survey of the first week of 2025’s Content Survey Live.

Content Survey Live: Yesterday's Hero: Round 1: Night 3: Bloody Alf(red)

 Content Survey Live, at this time pays tribute to the people who have worked their guts out concerning Cyclone Alfred, and it’s recovery over the last month. You are all the real heroes of this unprecedented event for SE Queensland, the Fraser Coast and Northern NSW, and deserve the praise.

Welcome, to the second half of the first week of survey for Content Survey Live in 2025. Tonight, Brisbane, steps up to the plate, for the first time this year.

Content Survey Live: Yesterday's Hero: Round 1: Night 2: This Is It… Night Two That Is

 Hey look us over, now we are here: second night of Content Survey Live in 2025, with no commercials here…

This, is it: Night 2 of Content Survey Live for 2025… the first ever weekend publication of a CSL survey, and tonight it’s Melbourne’s turn to turn up the fight.

Content Survey Live: Yesterday's Hero: Round 1: Night 1: Content Survey Spells Magic

Content Survey Live in 2025 kicking off on a Friday night… We are going to have a good time tonight.

Dedicated, to Harry Vanda (still with us, at 78), and George Young (who passed away in 2017), who shaped the Australian sound of the sixties and seventies as ARIA Hall of Fame songwriting pair, Vanda and Young: responsible for John Paul Young’s hits from 1975 onward, “Friday on My Mind” for the Easybeats (of which Vanda and Young were members, alongside lead singer Stevie Wright (who passed away in 2015) and all three parts of Evie, sung by Stevie Wright, as his biggest solo hit.

We salute the team that gave us JPY’s hits, especially as this year’s tagline is named after one of them.

kwNetwork Select: 2025

Welcome, to Boxing Day, welcome to the KW Network Select for 2025.

A reminder: of our Hugh Cornish obit, we posted to Kuttsywood's Couch late on Monday night (23/12/2024, if reading this in the new year).

Vale: Hugh Cornish AM

 Hubert Kestell Cornish, known to many as Hugh Cornish: the first face on television in Queensland, and ultimately Queensland's last living link to the genesis of our TV industry in the late 1950's and early 1960's sadly passed away on December 11, 2024 at the age of 90.

Hugh's career in the television medium was one that began, with the introduction of the first filmed news footage for Queensland television (Princess Alexandria on her way from Canberra to Brisbane for Queensland's centennial celebrations), and ended with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, both in on-air and off-air roles, before exploring new frontiers in the arts sector throughout the 1990's, before becoming the elder statesman of Queensland's TV industry for twenty years until his passing.

But like every great story, Hugh's has it's beginnings somewhere.

(Thanks to Hugh's autobiography "Funny You Should Ask", for the help about transcribing his life up until 1996. If you ever stumble on it at Brisbane's Lifeline Bookfest or somewhere else, it is a great read.)

Kuttsy's Pitch X-Two

The Pitch is Back.

23 years to the date: a TV newsroom in Townsville found out their bulletin would be made history and ultimately put on the ultimate signoff as local loyalty was flushed down the toilet in favour of noodle updates from Canberra, a messy product from Brisbane and more noodle updates this time from Tasmania. All this while, what ultimately became the only QLD-produced and presented regional news service continues to be dominant (which began when it swooped in to Townsville and Cairns 20yrs ago to add to their thriving heritage products in the Wide Bay, Sunshine Coast and Mackay), and misinformation and a botched move by a metropolitan station concerning local news is now bleeding that same regional station that cut their FNQ links in 2001 dry.

Today is November 21, 2024.

This is Kuttsy’s Pitch X-2.

A Flood of Memories: The Bonus Content Part 2: We'll Shop Again

Welcome back, to the second of two standalone posts from the post-show series for both editions of Content Survey Live in 2024, A Flood of Memories.

The success of this post-show snapshot of life after the '74 flood, led us to bring more from the microfiche, and into the light: hence this is going to be a two part series: the first part being focused on the post-flood recovery and was released on August 16, the second that you are seeing today is giving you a wider look at food and other goods which we only touched on briefly on Feburary 22, and 29.

A Flood of Memories: The Bonus Content Part 1: Films, Fire and Flood.

Welcome to the first of two bonus standalone posts from the post-show series for both editions of Content Survey Live in 2024, A Flood of Memories.

And, finally some breaking news in the last twenty four hours: thank you to 10, to finally listening to the viewers that are still there watching their product, and taking on the significant criticism of the hybrid Sydney/Brisbane product we have laid out on this site since centralization of Brisbane's news to Sydney just under four years ago.
