Seven National News (Sydney) - 1985 Australian TV Promo

Uber slick and cool promo for Seven News Sydney with Ross Symonds and Karina Kelly.
Recorded during 'A Super Night of Rock N Roll' (a trashy NBC special that Channel 7 got on the cheap through their affiliation rights) at 10pm on 1 July 1985, from ATN-7 Sydney.

Rex was my hero. A man’s man.

in my opinion this was the beginning of the end of Karina Kelly at Channel 7. I would've preferred she stayed at late night.

Did Garry Wilkinson work at both ATN 7 in Sydney and BTQ 7 in Brisbane ??

[@digitaldanmartin]

Yes. He read the weekend news at BTQ7 from 1990 to 1996.
