BRIAN HENDERSON, 1931-2021
Brian Henderson will be remembered for the velvet voice and easy charm with which he delivered Channel Nine’s nightly news and hosted the music show

But there was also a quiet determination in his make-up. When
Bandstand’s ratings fell by half from the 1960s into the ’70s, Henderson went to the network’s joint managing director, Clyde Packer, whom he said he “truly disliked” and who “returned the dislike”, and asked for a budget increase to help restore the show’s popularity. Questioned as to what he would know about such matters, Henderson gently reminded his boss that he had been involved since
