After starting in journalism in his teens, Gordon Dryden became a familiar face on New Zealand television. Earning himself a reputation as a tough interviewer, Dryden hosted coverage of the 1975 election before presenting Friday Conference. He devoted years to his dream of launching a private TV channel.
