The small screen - Jennifer Keyte Unofficial Webbook

l987
- Joined Channel 7 in September. The next month Christopher Skase took over the network and re launched the news with Jennifer at the helm. Prior to Jen's arrival, the news at HSV 7 had too few viewers to even rate a 1 on the ratings, due in part to local Melbourne resistance to networked news delivered from Sydney.
