Live on Bowen was a one-hour Melbourne Comedy Talk Show and Variety show produced by RMITV with the support of the RMIT Student Union which aired on C31 Melbourne. The Show featured comedic segments, special guest interviews and music acts ranging from the up-and-coming to high profile artists. Like its predecessor Studio A, the show aimed to provide a platform to showcase an array of Melbourne’s up and coming talent.
The word Bowen was taken from the name of the street that runs through the RMIT City Campus which building 12, the building the TV Studios are located, was situated.
The show was broadcast live to air on C31 Melbourne from the TV Studios at RMIT University's City Campus for the first 3 seasons (2012-2013). As of Season 4 2014, C31 Melbourne relocated from their premises on the corner of Victoria and Swanston Streets to William Street near Flagstaff railway station, rendering the RMIT to C31 Melbourne Microwave link useless. Thus since then the show had been prerecorded as live in front of a live audience a week prior to broadcast.
The show was first hosted by Australian actor, comedian Rob Lloyd until Episode 8 of the 2nd season.Aaron McCarthy filled in for Rob for the remainder of the second season, while Rob was on tour with Who, Me at Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and was subsequently named host for the third and fourth seasons. Up and coming comedian and writer Simon Taylor took over the reins as host as of the fifth season until the shows sixth and final season.
