Graham Webb (broadcaster)

In 1964 Webb headed for Europe, where he worked at several radio stations including Deutsche Welle, "German Wave".

He eventually moved to the United Kingdom during the mid 1960s, where he, along with several other Australian disc jockeys, became prominent in the flourishing pirate radio scene.

[8] In 1974, Webb hosted and produced the pioneering Saturday morning music video series The Graham Webb Saturday Today Show, which evolved into Sounds Unlimited,[9] the world’s first program to feature pop video clips,[10] a forerunner to MTV.

As the producer of Sounds Unlimited, Webb played a pivotal role in the career of video and feature film director Russell Mulcahy.

In need of material for the new show, Webb approached Mulcahy, who was a staffer in the ATN-7 newsroom, and asked him to film some footage to accompany popular songs for which there were no purpose-made clips (e.g. Kris Kristofferson's "Why Me" and Harry Nilsson's "Everybody's Talking").

He made clips for popular Australian acts including Stylus, Marcia Hines, Hush and AC/DC,[11] before moving to the UK, where he became one of the most successful music video directors of the 1980s and beyond.

[16] Webb hosted a program called "Webby's Golden Years Of Radio", an audio book of his life behind the microphone.
