Welcome, to the 13th edition of this sites's annual DST guide.
This year, we are dealing with with a pandemic, with the potential to wreak havoc over all the things we hold so dear this summer.
But, I have also not forgotten about a cause that has become our mantra in a post-Kuttsy's Pitch world: the "Wheres The Doco" campaign: now just over a year old, with this years guide coinciding with the significant decision, to exclude Nine's television assets from this guide for a second year, potentially extending it to a third (although, I don't wish to do so, as hopefully this issue can easily be settled by the airing of a doco celebrating Nine's 60 years of TV heritage in QLD on a television frequency, sometime soon).
And, now we begin for the thirteenth time: our DST guide that has become a tradition.

A little reminder for Nine QLD on QTQ's 61st birthday.The lack of a local special on QTQ's 60yr milestone twelve months ago will not be forgotten by this commentator.And, it's a vow I intend to renew until Nine gets the message.#WheresTheDoco9— Adrian Cutts (@LYBASkw) August 15, 2020
Cannot believe it has been twelve months since I made the bold decision to boot Nine Brisbane out of this site’s DST guide over something as trivial as celebrating your station’s sixtieth in a fashion that clearly didn’t fit the milestone.
Yet Nine has not come back, with a answer befitting of the three word question of August 2019, that has become a unofficial personal slogan of mine over the last twelve months: simply: “Where’s the Doco?”.
Here’s a reminder. You’ll be seeing Nine’s television content back in the guide in 2021, if Nine changes it’s attitude concerning their 60 year+ heritage in Queensland and begins to embrace it: beginning with the obivious thing: a on-air celebration of the Queensland industry that is a lot longer than the two minutes Nine spent in August 2019. That is simple.
If Nine’s QLD heritage of over 60 years is given lip-service with no public attention even after this guide reminding them of their failure to commemorate the diamond anniversary of television's introduction to Queensland in August 2019 for a second time, Nine may just see their ban from this DST guide extend into a third year. That is also very simple.
However: I personally don’t want to extend the ban on Nine’s television assets from this institution into 2022.
So, it is up to those working at Nine on the hill, to start giving viewers something that will hopefully remind your viewers of what television in Queensland once was: something that means a whole lot more in light of what 10 did in early September: pulling the plug on Brisbane studio production for their news service.
After all: every major milestone Nine has taken nationally (that is when I mean "nationally", it is usually referring to the Sydney/Melbourne milestone) in the last 25 years (40yrs in 1996, 50yrs in 2006), was celebrated with this Sandie Shaw classic... except for their 60th in 2016: which saw both 9 and 7 both neglect their 60 year milestone: a attitude sadly taken up by the majority of station managements in the smaller capitals in 2019.
I hold great doubts that Nine will celebrate it's next big milestone as a network: leaving their home since 1956, 24 Artarmon Rd in Willoughby later this year, with a rightful lookback into the Mike Walsh/Midday vaults: alongside many other products, memorable for both the right and wrong reasons.
In my mind I'm expecting Nine to simply say, "See you Monday in North Sydney" at the end of the last news bulletin at Willoughby, and do little else to celebrate on-air, despite the role the Willoughby studios played in Australian TV's long backstory being equal to or bigger in some cases than GTV-9 in Richmond: the studios at 22 Bendigo St, that were home to Nine's variety output for so many years, and closed in December 2010 with Nine shifting to a Docklands office block.
And, I continue to hope, that the link below will direct to a QTQ 60th doco, one of these days.
But due to some significant changes: (thanks, Hutchy: as we had a ITV2-style placeholder for SENTrack 1053 last year… before it was even SENTrack), Nine-owned 4BC has returned 7.5hrs a day of local presentation back to Brisbane, and thus Nine’s radio assets have to return back to the guide.
Radio:
4BC: Live and local between 5:30am-9am, 3-7pm Mon-Fri, come October 12.
4BH: Voicetracked in studios in Sydney and Melbourne.
SENTrack 1053: Live into QLD.
4MMM/Gold FM Drive: delayed into QLD.
HIT/SEA Drive: Delayed into QLD.
Nova Drive: Delayed into QLD.
97.3 Drive: Delayed into QLD.
