Dear Robert, Perhaps the following from: Australian TV: the first 24 years edited by Peter BEILBY might help. > Q:in April 1966 - was TV Ringside broadcast live from Melbourne's Festival > hall on Channel 7 on Monday nights? Page 28 1966 HSV-7s TV Ringside begins its long run, hosted by Melbourne's Ron Casey and Merv Williams. Page 114 The Boxing obsession ....HSV-7s TV Ringside ran from 1966 to 1974, nationally 1969 to 1974 hosted by Ron Casey and Merv Williams. It was the longest-running, and possibly the best of them, probably because of the relationship with Stadiums Ltd, the dominant promotor of the sport in Australia, ensured some realism in the bouts and a good supply of fighters. .....Ratings...when Lionel Rose fought Alan Rudkin at Kooyong in Melbourne in March 1969. Perhaps a query to Channel 7 itself might yield a direct answer to your questions. (Dorcas Street, South Melbourne) I also believe that there is a TV museum (other than the Performing Arts Centre Museum) down Mornington Peninsula, Vic. somewhere. Have you searched the web? Ron Casey passed away earlier this year.
