Nu
Country TV returns to C 31 for its 20th series

Wrestling - both on C 31.
His other credits include his own film 3 Minutes
and Ann-ihilation.

Nu
Country is one of the C 31's most popular music
magnets with many of our volunteer TV show staffers
veterans of our seven-year radio era.
We preview major Australian winter and spring festivals
and concerts with latest music by artists performing.
The festivals start with CMC Rocks North Queensland
at Townsville on Saturday September 28 and the 15th

Georgian superstar Alan Jackson and Missouri born

Corb Lund.
They
also play Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on Friday
October 4 with Novocastrian Morgan Evans and two
concerts in Brisbane and one in Sydney.

Jackson,
53 and father of three daughters, attracted large
crowds on his 2011 tour - almost three decades after
being discovered by expat Australasian manager and
publisher Barry Coburn.
More artists and concerts will be announced later.
We'll feature new video clips by all touring artists
including former middle weight boxing champion Paul
Thorn who plays Northcote Social Club on June 23 and
Hallam Hotel on June 25.

OUR
HISTORY
Singing
actor Peter Hosking created Nu Country TV in 2002 after
a long stint as a DJ on our radio station during its seven-year
era at Beer Can Hill, Northcote, and Harley House at the
Paris, Texas, end of Collins St in the CBD.
The aspirant radio station began at Bundoora in 1994 with
the late former Preston mayor Bill Corrie as its embryonic
president.
Hosking recruited fellow Nu Country FM DJS as hosts, filmed
concerts and produced-edited the first four series.
The voiceover maestro, now living in exile in Prague, handed
the reigns to Sofie Blichfeldt for Series #5.
Sofie then produced her own show Alone With Everybody
for C 31 before graduating to Rockwiz on SBS-TV.
ABC-TV 2 has picked up Alone With Everybody and commissioned
a new series - she might find time during sleep to film
celebrity hosting roles for Nu Country TV.
Her workload, including long running Ten Network soapie
Neighbours, prompted her to be succeeded by Kerry Richardson
who edited Series #6, #7 and #8.
Richardson filmed concerts while Kris Walker edited Series
#9.
Kris's successor Sean Tierney carried a hefty workload as
he took over the filming and editing of Series #10.
Sean filmed several Nu Country TV concerts including the
international showcase by Nashville singing satirist Kacey
Jones and Oklahoma stone country star Becky Hobbs.
The famed show at the Noise Bar in Brunswick on February
1, 2008, was a nominee in the Antennas - the national community
TV awards.
Kerry Richardson returned to editing Series #11 and #12
of Nu Country before handing the role to Peter Staubli for
Series #13, #14, #15.
Ashley Hall then edited Series #16, #17 and #18.

MORE
VIDEO CLIPS NEEDED
We
have been inundated with creative new video clips by the cream
of Australian artists - both mainstream and independent.
The growth of video - as a surrogate in the unlucky radio
country - has been a boon for Pay TV country channel CMC and
Nu Country.
But we still also need more videos of international and local
artists to blend in with the concert footage and interviews.
The show is screened in Victoria, Queensland, South Australia
and New Zealand.
For editing purposes we prefer video clips in digital format,
either via a
data disc, or via download.
Our postal address is P O Box 625, Northcote - 3070.
