Rob Brough

Robert Edward Brough (born 1955) is an Australian journalist, television presenter and rugby league coach.

Brough began his media career in radio in the 1970's as an announcer at radio station 4VL in Charleville, Queensland. He then moved onto 4WK in Warwick, 4BC in Brisbane and then 4GG on the Gold Coast, Queensland.

Following on from his radio work, Brough moved into television in the mid 1980's, covering sport for ABC Television in Brisbane before moving over to Channel 9 to present the sports news on National Nine News in Brisbane until 1989.

In 1990, Brough moved away from news reporting when he joined the Channel 7 in Brisbane to host the Australian version of Family Feud, which was seen nationally. Brough hosted the program until it was axed in 1995. Bert Newton and Grant Denyer have both hosted revived versions of the program for the Nine Network and Network Ten respectively.

In an opinion piece written for the Sydney Morning Herald, Dominic Knight claimed Bert's Family Feud, the 2006 version of the program, was an awful show but not just because it brought back "unpleasant memories of Rob Brough".

Brough was often parodied by Steve Vizard on Seven's sketch comedy show Fast Forward.

Following his job as the host of Family Feud, Brough moved back into news. He began presenting Sunshine Local News for Seven's regional Queensland affiliate Sunshine Television on the Sunshine Coast. Shortly after Brough joined, Sunshine Local News became Seven Local News following the purchase of Sunshine Television by Seven and as such, the network's name and look changed to reflect the metropolitan Channel 7 stations.
