Picture Page (Australian TV series)

Picture Page was an Australian television program that aired from 1936 to 1939, produced by TCN-9 Sydney. It is considered one of Australia's earliest regular television programs. Details about the show are scarce due to the limited documentation of early Australian television. It was a variety program featuring a mix of musical performances, news segments, and interviews. The show predated the official start of regular television broadcasting in Australia, which began in 1956. Picture Page was a pioneering effort that helped to lay the groundwork for the development of the Australian television industry, although the technology and production quality were rudimentary compared to later standards. Surviving episodes, if any, are extremely rare. Information about presenters and performers is fragmentary. The program's name is believed to be inspired by a similarly titled British television program.
