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.

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!

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).
