Eric Hunter spent more than 20 years at the ABC, working in all states and across a wide range of positions: radio announcer, talks officer, TV current affairs reporter and executive producer, and State program director. A pioneer of programs such as This Day Tonight and Nationwide, Eric was also the first Australian to present a live satellite program (from Expo’67 in Montreal) as well as one of three Australian reporters to take part in the world’s first multi-satellite program, the BBC-produced Our World in June 1967. After leaving the ABC, he worked for many years in the public and private sectors as a senior communications consultant, commercial TV news producer and as a sessional lecturer in journalism at the University of Canberra. Eric retired in 2013 and now contributes to both ABC Friends and ABC Alumni.
