I worked there in Engineering and Operations 1966 - 1999. I hadn't seen this before, so it's pure nostalgia. All the people I knew. All the old gear! And all the old video faults - ugh. So much better quality and so much easier now. Yes, digital is better, faster and cheaper, but so many jobs are gone.

I wonder i you can help with this one Crofty, My dad used to work in Ops around that time, and I was wondering what happened to the old MARC robot that used to load all the tapes into the D3 machines? I know that there's a museum in the UK that has a MARC available to view and I'd love to get some footage of it at some point. Do you know if it ended up there? The MARC was what I think ended up replacing the CART machine in the early 90s as TVW moved to D3 for its ads. I was only a little tacker when I saw it, but I used to spend hours sitting in front of it watching the arms whizz about and loading tapes in. Apparently the second gantry was disabled because it had way too many issues colliding with the main gantry. I hear that the BBC got a bunch of the D3 machines as part of its operations to migrate from D3 to digital. D3 tapes were notoriously finnicky and fragile.

I like how parts of this uses the "We're with You" theme TVW-7 used during that time, it was also used by SAS Channel 10 Adelaide, and NBN Channel 3 in Newcastle.

the theme itself (adopted from RKO/WNAC) was shared between TVW and SAS because they were owned by the same company

This was a tour tape. It was played to groups of people prior to being shown around the station. :-)

I didn't see your name in the credits? How rude, I remember your name from way back in the 80s from the local music show FMTV hosted by Bill Ali and stereo cast on 96fm.

Steve Quartly I guess this tape could show off some of the “restricted” areas as well as better explain certain aspects of their operations.

I also remember working for a number of years at the Telethon, to assist with operational tasks on loan from GWN as I was a Tape Operator and Presentation Co-Ordinator there in the 80's and 90's. Great times then, where it was all tape and film, not Digital files and folders and PC's. Everything was switched live to air and when things went wrong, it was easier to recover and get back on air.

I was tasked with demolishing the majority of the buildings on the TVW7 Tuart Hill site in 2015. It was a bittersweet task to have to undertake, as a Broadcasting and radio enthusiast. But, someone had to do it, so it was destroyed with some form of empathy from myself, knowing we were taking down the first Television facility in Western Australia. Almost everything in this video was destroyed at my hands.

So this is where the Perth station gets its programs from, but where does the Sydney station (ATN-7) get its programs from?

Interesting - they have the same slogan as the former WNAC-TV (now WHDH-TV 7News) in my hometown Boston. Was this 1982, perhaps?

At 11:30 to 11:45 the guy in the brown trousers and headset might be John Eastman. I believe he started as a set builder but also did a bit of everything.

John Easton was an actor and stage manager at the Playhouse Theatre in Perth, whilst also travelling around the country towns with a troop of performers. He became a long time floor manager at TVW7, but is now retired and living in a aged facility.

Oh, and of course the girl is Allison Carrol who used to work at my old bank - the R&I Bank (now Bankwest) in Karrinyup in the early 80's and was a finalist in Miss West Coast. If fact, she may have even won it.

Yes and those carts could hold 6 min of tv not 5. I spent a few weeks learning the Ampex ACR-25. I cringed when the tape operator slammed the tape onto the AVR-1. In my day, that would have gotten you a stern warning from the tape supervisor. I worked on Every Machine AMPEX ever made from the VR-1000 to the VPR series. The VR-2000b and the AVR-1 were the best machines AMPEX made
