Rhythm Roundup is an Australian television series for which little information is available. It was a music series featuring Roy Hampson, but the exact format is not known. It ran from 1957 to 1960 on Sydney stations ATN-7 and ABN-2.[1]
In 1958 the series featured the Poster Girl contest, with 19-year-old Annette Andre winning. She appeared on the series for four weeks.[2]
It should not be confused with Record Roundup, which featuring the same host and aired on the same station. Although some ATN programming from the late-1950s survives, it is not known if any kinescopes or early video tape exist of either series, given the wiping of the era.
