- Dan Webb, one of the first personalities on Melbourne television, has died at the age of 92.
Webb was breakfast announcer at radio station 3DB before being picked up by its sister television station HSV7 as one of its star line-up, alongside Eric Pearce and actress Mary Parker.

Webb's fame was on the rise in the 1960s as host of HSV7's popular game show Video Village. The daily half-hour program was a hit not just in Melbourne but across the country and ran for four years.

While at Seven and in retirement he was a devout contributor, supporter and ambassador to the Royal Children's Hospital Good Friday Appeal.
A presenter on Seven's first Good Friday Appeal telethon in 1957, Webb made his last TV appearance on last year's appeal. - Amy Krouse Rosenthal was born on 29 April 1965 in Chicago, Illinois, USA.
