:''This article is about the television station in Melbourne, Australia. For other uses, see ATV (disambiguation).'' ATV is a television station in Melbourne, Australia, part of Network Ten – one of the three major Australian commercial television networks. ==History== In April 1963 the licence to operate Melbourne's third commercial television station was awarded Austarama Television, owned by transport magnate Sir Reginald Ansett. The new channel, ATV-0 (pronounced as ''O'', never the number ''zero''), began transmission on 1 August 1964 from a large modern studio complex located in the then-outer eastern suburb of Nunawading, in the locality now known as Forest Hill, but referred to at the time as East Burwood. The new station opened with a preview program hosted by Barry McQueen and Nancy Cato followed by a variety program, ''This Is It!''. Reception difficulties in parts of the city resulted in the station's virtually permanent third position in the Melbourne television ratings. ATV had been experimenting with colour transmissions from 1967, when the station was the first to mount a colour outside broadcast in Australia, from the Pakenham races.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Thursday 15 June 1967 — MELBOURNE )〕 Many other colour test transmissions occurred subsequently. Full-time colour transmission was introduced to ATV-0 in March 1975 in line with other stations around the country. Rupert Murdoch gained a controlling interest in Sydney television station TEN-10 in 1979 and had bought a controlling stake in transport company Ansett, owner of Austarama Television (licensee of ATV-0). That triggered a government inquiry into media ownership, the main concern being Murdoch having a controlling interest in television stations in Australia's two largest cities, ignoring the fact that the Kerry Packer-owned Australian Consolidated Press had controlled the Nine Network channels in Melbourne and Sydney for many years. Due to problems in reception and falling ratings, and the desire to move TV stations out of the VHF band so as to enable FM radio in Australia, the station moved frequency and call-sign from ATV-0 to ATV-10, after getting the agreement of neighbouring Gippsland station GLV-10 to change its frequency to become GLV-8. On 20 January 1980, the revamped ATV-10 was launched with a jingle campaign (''"You're on Top With Ten"''), Graham Kennedy's introductory presentation and a 30-minute ''Eyewitness News'', then presented by Jana Wendt. By May, David Johnston became the co-presenter and ''Eyewitness News'' went back to its one-hour duration, claiming that it was "First in Melbourne" due to its many innovations and historic moments and the fact that in the 1970s ATV was the first of the now "Network Ten" stations to adopt the ''Eyewitness News'' brand and the one-hour newscast(with the first 1-hour newscast debuting in November 1975). Wendt left the channel in 1981 with Charles Slade replacing her and was later replaced by Jo Pearson, who served till 1988, joined by Mal Walden in 1987 and by the next year by Tracey Curro. By the end of 1981 Murdoch had finally received approval for control of ATV-10. The 1986 transfer of ''Neighbours'' to the Ten Network (from the Seven Network) proved to be a success. Aside from its use of suburban locations in Melbourne itself, ATV's Nunawading studios were used to produce the program. That is still the case today. On 7 September 1992, ATV-10 relocated from the station's famous Nunawading studios to the Como Centre in inner suburban South Yarra. The Nunawading complex is now operated by Global Television and Network Ten leases the facility for production of programs such as ''Neighbours'', while the Como Centre studios in South Yarra are used for ''The Project'' and ''The Circle'' as well as news, current affairs, entertainment and sport programs. On 10 December 2013, at 9:00:01am ATV-10 became one of the last stations in Australia to switch off its analog TV signal being the last Network 10 station and 4th last in the whole country of Australia to convert to Digital only Transmission, the switch was flicked by Bob Rosenthal a retired TEN Engineer who 33 years earlier was there to switch ATV-0 over to ATV-10. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ATV (Australia)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
