Before television people eagerly gathered round the radio for their favourite programs and to hear the latest news. In the early days television was called 'radio with pictures' by those in the industry. Back then no one had any idea how much television would impact on Australian lives. Radio with Pictures tells the story of the first 50 years of Australian television in a unique and fascinating way, not as a bland history book but often through the eyes and in the words of the people who created that craft from the ground up.
