		Bruce Gyngell is best known by the general public in Australia for being the first face on television.
		In 1977 in a move that was extremely controversial, Gyngell was appointed to be the first chair of a new broadcasting regulatory authority, the Australian Broad-casting Tribunal, established as a result of an inquiry organized by the conservative Fraser government.
		Gyngell argues the legislation did not permit him to refuse approval of Murdoch's acquisition, but other commentators saw the incident as affirming Gyngell's closeness to commercial broadcasters and disregard for the public interest.

		WhatÂ’s more, itÂ’s come from within the family - David Gyngell, 39, is Packer snrÂ’s godson, Packer jnrÂ’s (James) best mate and the son of the late and rather eccentric Bruce Gyngell, the first man on Australian TV in the 1950s and longtime Packer family confidant.
		Gyngell is, however, independently wealthy and ultimately his own man. HeÂ’s only been in TV for six years.
		Interestingly, one of the moves which rankled Gyngell was the return to Nine of Chris TaylorÂ’s father, Lynton, officially to handle negotiations for the TV broadcast rights for the Rugby League and Australian Rules competitions.

		WHEN Bruce Gyngell spoke those memorable words, "Good evening and welcome to television", almost 50 years ago, all was not calm behind the scenes at Channel 9's new Sydney headquarters.
		Gyngell, the first man to appear on TV, was doing his piece to camera while standing in an engineering storeroom at the Willoughby base because construction of the television studio had not finished in time for the first broadcast on September 16, 1956.
		After Gyngell's formal introduction, when the network began its first night of regular programming with a game show called What's My Line and an episode of I Love Lucy, the transmission was actually coming from a temporary "studio" on the other side of Sydney Harbour.

		When Bruce Gyngell arrived on the scene, he took the station upmarket slightly, jettisoning the baggage of his predecessor – ironically, the now-Director General of the BBC, Greg Dyke.
		The much remarked-upon irony, that it was she who caused the station’s demise, is now a cliché that broadcasting historians have been commenting on since the fateful day that the new regulator’s fax arrived at Camden Lock, and will continue to do so for many more years.
		Bruce Gyngell had tried to retain his station’s franchise by playing fair.

		Gyngell conceded that AFL coverage was expensive to produce and did not help Nine's bottom line even though it enhanced the network's image and reputation.
		Neither Seven nor Ten was interpreting Gyngell's comments as a significant development in favour of the new alliance, regarding it instead as a negotiating tactic.

		It hit the screens at the height of the rock'nroll era, and was at its peak in the six years before before the emergence of The Beatles.
		Channel 0's success was also a reflection of the fact that by the mid-60s Melbourne was indisputably the epicentre of the booming new pop scene.
		In hindsight, it's clear that the Nine Network and Gyngell chose to ignore the challenge of the "beat craze", opting to hang on to Bandstand's familiar, safe and successful formula that famously "appealed to anyone from eight to eighty".
