Ten years on from the disastrous axing of television’s longest running family morning show ‘Family Dawns’, things are very grim for the Dawn Family. We follow each of the family members in their new and challenging lives post stardom, and find out exactly what went wrong through comprehensive in-show flashbacks. Financial disputes, family competitiveness and inappropriate sexual tension are just a few of the catalysts for the show’s demise. The question remains however, with the lives of the Dawns continuing to take a slide…could a comeback show be on the cards? 

Originally airing on C31 Melbourne through late 2009, Family Dawns was nominated for two Antenna Awards, including ‘Best Comedy’.

Starring Kat Burgin, Tim McDonald, Nick Musgrove, Nick Russell, Eden Porter and Ant Simpson.

Our passionate team of volunteer presenters have a shared belief in the values that sport can instill in us all and the benefits of involvement in our local communities.

And we love to spotlight the wonderful people, both on and off the field, who make it all possible.

The Local Footy Show, while keeping viewers informed of the latest results and standings in local leagues, endeavours to provide informative segments to cover the behind-the-scenes stories, the people and the history of our great game at grassroots level.

Since the broadcast of its first episode in 2003, No Limits rapidly evolved. During its run it produced between 13 and 26 half hour episodes per year and broadcast on Channel 31 in Melbourne and Geelong, Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth and Sydney.

An icon of community television broadcasting, No Limits was included in ACMI’s TV50 exhibition in 2006, celebrating Australian television since its first transmission.

Produced and presented by people with disabilities, No Limits did not shy away from difficult issues and revels in the discussion of all things complex + controversial.

No Limits aimed to impact positively on mainstream media in their storylines about people with disabilities and in the accurate reflection of our society and its 20% of Deaf + disabled people. Currently mainstream and other media lack the presence of people with disabilities and where they are represented it is in a stereotypical way, usually “Super-crip” (outstanding achievement in overcoming the drawback of a disability) or Tragic victim (horror stories and acquired disabilities).

No Limits showed, and challenged other media to show, people with disabilities as proud, shameless, defiant, respected, denied members of society, capable of great contribution to an inclusive society.

No Limits TV was broadcast from 2003 to 2014 and received 9 Antenna Awards along with 5 nominations during its run.
