TEN 10 Good Morning Australia Opener Sadat Assassinated 1981

Video Title :	TEN 10 Good Morning Australia Opener Sadat Assassinated 1981
Description :	TEN 10 Good Morning Australia Opener Sadat Assassination 1981. This opener aired across Australia on the 0-10 Network on the morning of October 7, 1981. The hosts of Good Morning Australia at the time were Gordon Elliot and Sue Kellaway. The Newsreader is longtime TEN Presenter and Reporter, Tim Webster. Sue Kellaway would switch to Channel 9 just months later to join Steve Liebman for the launch of TODAY on Nine in 1982. The Assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat was fresh, it had only occurred hours before GMA went to air (October 6 in Cairo). As a result, Channel 9 at the time without a breakfast News programme was forced to cross live to ITN in London and screen News at TEN. It's interesting to see GMA's news segment titled "National Eyewitness News", not used in 0-10s evening newscasts, just "Eyewitness News". While Good Morning Australia was seen on all TEN stations it was hardly national. Western Australia, Tasmania, the Northern Territory and ACT were not in the loop at the time, not having a TEN station or affiliate. Perhaps it was more a reference to the opposition newscasts, Channel 7 at the the time had "Seven National News" and Channel 9 to this day has "National Nine News".

The show looks so relaxed, then when you don't expect it... "The attack left the scene a mass of bodies and blood"

interesting - i thought Tim Webster was developing Parkinsons disease recently but it seems he's always had the ants in his pants - he's always moving like he's busting for a piss!

I know y u love Sadaat. He was a traitor. He alied with Israel and this what happens when u ally yourself with a terrorist zionist state.

STFU

we love you Sadat

pls if you have another thing about anwar elsadat send me thanks

Gordon Elliott looks young in Australia in 1981 before he hosted TV shows in America in the 1990's!

suck my cock

Sue was ofcourse the fouding anchor of the Today SHow, and on Steves final show sayed he was great and that Gordon was a Piranah!

Tim also worked at 2-day fm in Sydney as an announcer at the time.
