VALE Murray Finlay, NBN TV’s 1st news reader, from March 1962, and NBN’s 2nd news director. He later greenlit the 1983 doco ‘Farewell to Steam’ about South Maitland Railway. Murray was a great mentor and supporter of the value of local TV news.

He was the man who told me the news growing up…
And the man who taught me how to tell others the news when I grew up.
A Hunter icon.
