A Flood of Memories: The Bonus Content Part 2: We'll Shop Again
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.
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 being focused on the post-flood recovery, the second giving you a wider look at food and other goods which we only touched on briefly on Feburary 22, and 29.
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.
Brisbane's news on 10... is coming home in September.

Content Survey Live: Season Mode: Round 3: Night 2: Stephen Quartermain Holds His Own
"The adventures of the man they call "Quarters",
Presenting sports coverage that knows no borders,
Fresh from South Yarra smelling of liniment,
Makes his old workmate McAvaney look twice for a minute.
The sports presenter that Sydney can only envy,
Introducing: Stephen Quartermain, aplenty."
"bonk" Sorry, Smacka!

Content Survey Live: Season Mode: Round 1: Night 1: The Waiting Game.
This post is dedicated to Queensland broadcasting legend, former reporter for the ABC's This Day Tonight, one of the founding members of the Tripod TV collective that produced for Nine Brisbane, Today Tonight between Feburary 1979 and June 1985 (a program he'd ultimately host after the departure of founding compare Glenn Taylor to Seven to start State Affair and the brief run of Andrew Carroll hosting TT post-Taylor departure), a former executive producer for 10's Good Morning Australia, presenter for Business Week, and founding presenter for Seven's TVAM (alongside Kay McGrath), John Barton: who passed away on Saturday (17/2/2024) at the age of 73.
We send our condolences to John's family (including his sons: Sam, Fraser and Hugh, who announced their father's passing this morning on the RATS Facebook page).
Content Survey Live in Feburary…
Welcome to Season Mode.

Lexicon News The Third: Night Three: Orca and Orchideous
Ancient journo proverb (especially if you watched 7's 4pm news in QLD this arvo): don't screw up a story intro live on air, especially this close to Christmas.

Lexicon News The Third: Night Two: Pitch and Pithy
"We surveyed 100 people about the new set... and we got nothing?"
Let's again go over the ground rules for Lexicon News:
Tonight's tale...
The timing in Brisbane added up tonight to 27mins 33secs.
The regional cut added up to 9mins 18secs.
Seven lexiconed out of their news tonight for regional Queenslanders: 18mins 15secs.
The amount of lexiconed content this week so far by Seven: 36mins 24secs
Once again, a relatively big news story relevant to regional Queensland (inland freight route proposal) is being left on the cutting room floor at Lexicon Central.
Tomorrow night, is the halfway point of this week's campaign, and a update on last night's bulletin's plug for a Heartkids fundraiser: their total is now over $1000 raised.
And, finally another reminder: OneQueensland's "Big Q" is being launched wider: the link to the survey is available here.
A reminder, if you want to support us here at Kuttsywood's Couch, please visit our Patreon page: and become a paid supporter, and a reminder: to see you tomorrow night... but first, a teaser for Boxing Day.

The 16th annual Kuttsywood's Couch guide to DST delays
Welcome to the 2023/24 DST Guide: a tradition we’ve held dear since 2008: and will continue to hold dear until our politicians get the message that any politician who still believes that the 1992 QLD DST referendum results should still be utilized as a basis for mid-21(st) century political policy in Queensland is not a good politician: especially as we head toward a political generation that will either not have been born or were very young when the 1992 referendum happened who will fight a hell of a lot harder to eliminate the DST borderline than previous generations.
This year, we’ve been preparing this guide since prior to Nine’s upfronts on September 6, and have achieved a significant first: with this guide being published a week early on our Patreon platform: Kuttsywood’s Couch One. In addition, our DST Update service from 2011-2014 over at our former Tumblr presence, will be revived as part of our weekly Veritas on KW: On Sunday product from October 2 (with a two week break over Christmas/New Year).
To support us: visit our Patreon and become a patron.
In addition: we have a update concerning Content Survey Live in 2024.
“Due to reasons within our control, Content Survey Live will not be seen in August 2024. More details are available, on Boxing Day.”
