“A special edition of ‘Seven Nightly News’ from the studios of ATN7 in Sydney, announcing the surrender of the Japanese to the Allied forces and thus signalling the end of the Second World War and presented by Ross Symonds (who bears an uncanny resemblance in appearance, voice and career path (not to mention, name) of another Ross Symonds, who would join the ATN7 news team some years later).
The news bulletin was preserved for posterity and was only put to air 50 years to the day later, during Channel Seven’s telecast of Victory in the Pacific (or ‘VP Day’) remembrance services held in Sydney and Brisbane.”
