TCN

Bandstand was an Australian musical/variety television show which screened from November 1958 to 1972. It was produced at the studios of TCN-9 in Sydney and eventually became a national program as Nine Network expanded into other Australian cities in the early 1960s. Bandstand was created by Nine executive Bruce Gyngell in consultation with Mayfield B. Anthony, who based it on the American show of a similar name, American Bandstand. The host for virtually the entire run of the series was Brian Henderson, who was also the chief newsreader for TCN-9 in Sydney. The series is closely associated with the group of performers who regularly appeared on the show, and became known as The Bandstand Family. This included Col Joye, Little Pattie, Warren Williams, Lucky Starr, Sandy Scott, Bryan Davies, Johnny Devlin, Laurel Lea, Judy Stone, Digby Richards, The Bee Gees, The Allen Brothers, Cathy Wayne and Olivia Newton-John.

Say It with Music was an early Australian television series. It aired on Sydney station TCN-9 from 21 February 1957 to 15 April 1958. Hosted by pianist Frank Lawrence, the series was a variety show. The half-hour series featured entertainers such as singers, dancers, instrumentalists, and jugglers and was intended for "late evening relaxation". It is not known if any of the episodes are still extant as kinescope recordings.

Music for You was an Australian television series. Little information is available on the series. It aired from 1958 to 1960 on Sydney station TCN-9, and starred pianist Isador Goodman. Aired on Sundays, the time-slot varied. In September 1958 the series aired at 4:30PM while by May 1960 it aired at 1:30PM. It was Goodman's second television series, following the 1956-1957 Melbourne series The Isador Goodman Show. Well known in Australia at the time, he was also heard on radio during the 1950s. Given the main performer and the title, it was most likely a music series. Although kinescope recording and later video-tape was available during the run of the series, it is not known if any such recordings were made or still exist today.
