Personal Column is an Australian television program. It aired on Melbourne station HSV-7, broadcast weekly at 4:00PM on Wednesdays from 27 August 1958 to 6 May 1959. Episodes aired in a 15-minute time-slot. It was replaced on the schedule by Brenda's Time with HSV personality Brenda Marshall, a program about which very little information is available. The archival status of either program is not known. It should not be confused with Personal Album, a GTV-9 series which also aired from 1958 to 1959.
It appears to have originally been hosted by Brenda Marshall, but most episodes featured Jean Battersby as the host. The program had a format similar to newspaper personal column sections, with Battersby discussing viewers personal problems.[1]
At the time, most Australian programs aired in a single city only, which was also the case with Personal Column.
