Free TV celebrates 60 years of broadcast television and unveils political support group

Free TV Australia has launched a campaign 60 years in the making as it celebrates the diamond anniversary of broadcasting with key moments that have been brought into Australia’s lounge rooms.

Historic moments such as Neil Armstrong’s moon landing, 9/11 and a host of sporting highlights feature in the 30-second spot narrated by Noni Hazlehurst.

The ad was launched at Parliament House Canberra at an event hosted by Ten’s Sandra Sully, Seven’s Mel Doyle and Nine’s Karl Stefanovic, and will  play across the commercial stations over the next several weeks.

Harold Mitchell, Free TV Australia Chairman, unveiled the advertisement to an audience including Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, communications minister Mitch Fifield and other parliamentarians and senior government staff.
