As we rediscover scenes from the early years of NBN News, one thing is for sure: our Journalists and Cameramen were dedicated to telling the true story of local life
They mastered the art of capturing the magic, recording vibrant scenes of the community to be broadcast to living rooms at 6pm
Fetes and shows were the events that put smiles on faces.. offering the perfect opportunity to capture the joy of connecting with friends
We saw the dramatic arrival of parachutists at an Abermain Field Day…
And the sheer excitement of Sideshow Alley at the Cessnock Show
Plus a music festival in Newcastle’s King Edward Park, complete with chaotic daredevil stunts… and a performance by Australian band Sherbet, led by a very young Daryl Braithwaite
Our cameras are the bridge between the community and the screen. These early scenes are a precious record of our history, and they remind us of the importance of local television
