What have I done? Will God ever forgive me?

It was great piece of abstract imagery. I always love when they go a bit off piece, like the dream sequence in the first season where Lucrezia flies up into the ceiling. The more of that they use the better. I think television is often afraid of abstraction and presenting big ideas. That motif of Jeremy holding the child is beautiful. It says everything that needed to be said in a very fitting, visual and instantly accessible manner. — DAVID OAKES

This is Dale Jennings, reporting to you all for News At Six from 1989! 🌟💖📺

.

As all of my readers know, I love researching the real history behind The Newsreader! So when the Season Three trailer gave us our first glimpse of the brand new News At Six news desk for 1989, you can imagine how itchy I felt to start investigating to find the real news desk from the era that inspired it!

Season One’s was based off Ten’s Eyewitness News from 1986 (as seen in these pics of Melbourne’s Jo Pearson and David Johnston), Season Two’s was based off Seven’s Nightly News set from circa 1988 (anchored by Jennifer Keyte and Glenn Taylor in Melbourne), and for Season Three, we are seeming to return back to the designs of Seven Nightly News, this time their 1989 set. It bears some similarities to the 1988 set, except with a futuristic silver, blue and chrome tone.

For historical reference and evidence, I’m including these images from Brisbane and Melbourne’s Seven Nightly News, both from 1989. These feature Brisbane’s newsreaders of Kay McGrath and Frank Warrick (with sports reporter Peter Meares), and Melbourne’s team of Jennifer Keyte and Glenn Taylor.

From the tiny amount we’ve seen of our Season Three desk, our desk is sans the computer monitors in the background, and from the positioning of the lights above, we can assume we will have that row of screens running across the top, like Channel Seven’s. We also have a pronounced and rounded screen on the side so that Dale can watch crossovers and do satellite interviews, although it’s possible the real deal did too, I’ve just not been able to find footage supporting this to share as evidence.

We are lucky to have these images and footage due to the preservation work of professional and unofficial archivists on the internet, and so if you would like to watch the clips sourced to support their work, you can search the titles and users below. A big thank you to these users for preserving and sharing these pieces of Australian media history! Which news desk from The Newsreader has been your favourite?
