Mike Higgins, seen in both clips above, has a delivery style that reminds me of the legendary Chicago anchor Bill Kurtis:

BTW, do you happen to know the name and composer of the news theme used by BTQ-7 in that clip? As you know, BTV-6 in Ballarat used a speeded up version of the same music several years later:
