Bongo is an Australian television series for which little information is available. Hosted by Russell Stubbings, it was a music show aimed at teenagers.[1] It ran from 18 August 1960 to 17 November of the same year. It was a half-hour series, aired on Melbourne station GTV-9 (Australian television was not fully networked at the time). The series was preceded on the schedule by Gerry Gee's Happy Show and followed by the evening news.[2] An issue of The Age newspaper features a picture of Stubbings and lists the series as being live.[3]
