That's Rob Brough, the chap who used to do Family Feud. He always sounds
like a pantomime actor to me.

"The next station is ... Murrarie! Clap your hands three times if you
love Murrarie, too!"

That's the Brisbane Channel 7 announcer chap. Very mellifluous.

I'd like to hear announcments down by the SBS fellow. It'd be nice to
hear "Murrarie" and think "Chocolate Sex", instead of "Huge White
Wharehouse".
