Overview

The Ken Noyle Show is an Australian television series which aired on ABC. A half-hour variety series, in Sydney it aired on Thursdays, while in Melbourne it typically aired on Wednesdays. In Melbourne the first episode aired on 24 May 1958, with guests including Beryl Meekin, Red Moore, vocalist Paul Miskell and Jancece, with competition in the 9:30PM time-slot including a feature film on HSV-7 and the first-half of The Astor Show on GTV-9. Later during the run of the series it aired at 9:00PM, competed against talent programme Stairway to the Stars on HSV-7, and American sitcom Susie on GTV-9. At that point the programme was preceded on ABV-2's schedule by Faraway Look and followed by documentary series Panorama. It is not known if any kinescope recordings exist of the series, given the erratic survival rate of ABC's 1950s-era programming.
