TV Channell was a variety show. An episode broadcast on 7 February 1957 featured regulars pianist Reg Lewis; organist Wilbur Kentwell; singers Margaret Day, Ross Higgins, and Brian Lawrence; fire-eater Ya Yahmen and organist Perc Roberts.[2]
1957-era TV listings suggest that some of the TV Channell episodes were kinescoped for broadcast on Melbourne television station ABV-2,[3] but it is not known if any of these recordings still exist.
