Nu Country TV, filmed and edited by Laith Graham, has been a popular icon on free community TV for 20 years.
Our loyal and creative editor-camera operator and co-producer Laith took over the production reins of Nu Country TV for 32 of our 51 series and more than 600 episodes that ensured our survival.
The dynamic proud father of two young sons also hosted the show during our 2020-2021 pandemic.
Laith took a short break from filming and editing in November, 2017, after suffering a serious hip injury in his professional career.
But the dynamic proud father boomeranged for our autumn, winter and spring series.
Laith took the reins from teenage editor Blaize Warden for Series #19 and #20 and secondary teacher Ashley Hall who edited the previous three series after a long stint by fellow teacher Peter Staubli.
Singing actor Peter Hosking created Nu Country TV in 2002 after working as a DJ-voiceover maestro on our station.
Hosking launched, edited and produced the earlier series that were born from the ashes of Nu Country FM .
That was during our seven-year era at Beer Can Hill, Northcote, until fire destroyed the studio on June 26, 2000.
Thanks to Bayside Bob Crain – musician, landlord and breakfast DJ – we were resurrected in Harley House at the Paris , Texas end of Collins St in the CBD in 2001.
The aspirant radio station began at Bundoora in 1994 with the late former Preston mayor Bill Corrie as embryonic president.
