The series title was an acronym of the phrase “Get To Know“. GTK is one of several popular music programs produced by the ABC, and like the later establishment of Double Jay, GTK was created to address the perception that the Australian youth audience was being poorly served by commercial radio and TV and that international music and especially Australian popular music was allegedly being ignored by commercial TV and radio at that time.
GTK premiered on 4 August 1969 [1] and ran until 1974, after which it was superseded by the weekly show Countdown. The first series of GTK was directed by TV and event director Ric Birch. Because colour television was not introduced in Australia until early 1975, most of GTK was shot on black-and-white film or videotape, although some segments of programs ca. 1974 are known to have been shot in colour.
This presentation is the launch Only Want You For Your Body (1974).
