Juke Box Saturday Night

Juke Box Saturday Night was a short-lived Australian television series which aired on Melbourne station GTV-9 from around November 1957 to January 1958. The series presented a mix of older and new pop hits The exact format remains unclear. It is not known if it featured live music, or consisted of the cast lip-syncing hit recordings. Notably, the cast included Bob Horsfall, Diana Trask and Susan Gaye-Anderson along with the "GTV-9 Dancers". Competition in the time-slot consisted of feature films on HSV-7 and varying programs on ABV-2. It is not known if any of the live episodes were ever kinescoped, although this is unlikely given the short run of the series, and it is possible the series is lost. In early 1958 the series became/was replaced with by The Astor Show, which had a format similar to Hit Parade.
