Channel V

I just want to tell everybody.

It was Channel V, but by- Doesn't exist anymore.

Listen, listen, baba, don't get into all this.

You know, I've also been called Channel V this and that.

Oh, they used to do this and say five and all that nonsense also.

You must have heard that.

Yeah.

And the good Italian gentleman in the press conference said- Yeah ... "We are very happy to tie up with Channel 5." [laughs] We're like, "We're not Channel 5.

So Osha is one of Australia's most recognised media personalities who's been a guest in Australian living rooms for nearly two decades.

From his work on Channel V, I used to watch you on Channel V in the early 2000s, to seven seasons hosting Australian Idol, to The Bachelor franchise, narrating Bondi Rescue and many, many other shows.

I think everybody knows this man's voice and his face.

He's an Australian podcaster, bestselling author, award-winning documentary maker, TV host, Gold Logie second place getter.

And luckily for me as the younger brother, My older brother took the brunt of it for a while.

And it wasn't until they saw him on Channel V and they were like, oh, maybe this is a real thing.

And then he started getting on festivals and like a paycheck came with it.

And then they were like, oh, maybe this is a real thing.

Like music rights is massive.

The archive from ABC and Channel V and that, all that stuff you've got to pay for.

And if that stuff wasn't in the film, it wouldn't be...

You know, like, to do a Jebediah story and not use any Rage or Recovery clips or not have all of their music in it.

Maybe the film clip, a big budget parody of shows like Beverly Hills 90210, put the band back into the joke world and people saw it as a novelty.

Maybe because the song was such a studio creation that when they performed it live on Recovery and Channel V, it wasn't great.

The album, before it was even out, had two singles that failed to hit.

not even with the core Triple J audience.

I've listened to it twice.

Truth be told, I haven't thought about Macklemore since I saw him perform for a Channel V event way back in 2015 on Sydney's floating venue on the water, the island.

Oh, I'm jealous.

Yeah, remember? I mean, the island still exists, but back in the day, Channel V used to have it out for events.

Anyway, doesn't matter.

By the by.

There you go.

See? If you were watching stuff on Channel V, I'm like, oh, who are you? Barron Trump?

If you had an electric salt and pepper grinder and not just sacks of table salt, rah!

Or anything from Avanti.
