Re: * COUNTDOWN REPEATS ON THE ABC PETITION HERE *
Totally agree with the many posters above. It is a tragic waste of the cultural resources of the ABC's archives not to show the music shows in its collection. Countdown is a massive favourite, as everyone has said, but I would also like to see the old GTK and Hitscene shows, which are a treasure trove of cultural history. I am sure they could be shown on ABC2 or over night on ABC3 without much expense. Otherwise they are effectively lost to history and risk deteriorating or (heaven forbid) being wiped in a repeat of the cost-cutting madness which wiped so many shows in the late 70s and 80s.

I agree.......not just Countdown but everything they have.Please Jason add all these shows to the petition not just Countdown.....perhaps you could rename this Petition to a more broader title on this forum to include GTK,Hitscence and any thing else the ABC have...Its a real shame that Australia's only remaining musical history lies dormant rotting in some dark archive maybe never to see the light of day again.Makes me sad.
You have my support if you make it a fairer more broader petition.....what do you say??Can you rename it?
