Bruce Gyngell (AO) (8 July 1929 – 7 September 2000) was an influential Australian television executive, prominent for 50 years in both Australian and UK television. Although Gyngell began his career in radio, in the 1950s he stepped into the arena of early television broadcasting, helping to set up Channel 9, the first commercial TV station in Australia. He is credited with introducing the sofa format of breakfast television and in later life, for expressing his attraction to eastern ideas which ranged through Zen Buddhism, meditation and Insight philosophy.〔 ==Early life== Gyngell was born 8 July 1929 in Melbourne. According to ''The Guardian'', among Gyngell's relatives were an assorted lot of entrepreneurs. His great-grandfather was the pyrotechnician for the wedding of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, while his grandfather, who settled in Australia, introduced Cider-making to the continent. His father ran a flying circus before becoming an engineer with Mobil, and his mother was of Irish extraction.〔 He was a pupil at Sydney Grammar School and briefly studied medicine. He worked as a disc jockey for the ABC, and joined the university air squadron but the Korean war ended before he had a chance to participate.〔(''The Guardian'', obituary article by Maggie Brown, 9 September 2000 )〕
