Television
Brady became involved in television in the very early days, just two years after its start in Australia. He left school at the age of 18 and started working at Channel Nine in 1958 firstly as a booth announcer (voice-overs).
Brady appeared with Graham Kennedy on In Melbourne Tonight in commercials and comedy sketches as well as compering the show on occasions. He stayed at Channel 9 until 1971 when he was one of many to lose their job when Nine cancelled its variety shows.
In the 1960s and 1970s Brady hosted many television shows including Concentration and Everybody's Talking for the Nine Network and Moneymakers, Junior Moneymakers, Casino Ten, Get the Message and Password for the 0–10 Network.
Brady made guest appearances on television in the 1990s with a regular nostalgia segment on Good Morning Australia with Bert Newton as well as guest appearances on Seven‘s Tonight Live with Steve Vizard and ABC‘s The Late Show.

Famous quotes containing the word television:
“... there is no reason to confuse television news with journalism.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
“Cultural expectations shade and color the images that parents- to-be form. The baby product ads, showing a woman serenely holding her child, looking blissfully and mysteriously contented, or the television parents, wisely and humorously solving problems, influence parents-to-be.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
“We cannot spare our children the influence of harmful values by turning off the television any more than we can keep them home forever or revamp the world before they get there. Merely keeping them in the dark is no protection and, in fact, can make them vulnerable and immature.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
