TNQ is an Australian television station, licensed to, and serving the regional areas of Queensland. The station is owned and operated by Southern Cross Ten. ==History== Southern Cross Ten in Queensland began in 1982 as ''North Queensland Television'', a partnership between two regional stations: * TNQ-7 Townsville (launched on 1 November 1962) * FNQ-10 Cairns (launched on 7 September 1966) Their slogan was ''The Place to Be'', a slogan used by the station for over a decade up until 1993. When aggregation was announced in the late 1980s, NQTV was planning to be the Nine Network affiliate for regional Queensland. NQTV had a write-in competition for their name and logo. The name QTV was chosen and because of the intended Nine affiliation, it adopted a logo with the Nine dots (similar to WIN and NBN's logos). Unfavourable viewer response forced the station to change logos within a few months. The station ran with a Nine-based identification package in the year leading up to aggregation. However, the station faced a crisis in the days leading up to aggregation when WIN Television bought the Toowoomba and Rockhampton-based Star Television, and switched the affiliation from Ten to Nine, in line with WIN's NSW station. This meant that QTV had to change its logo and affiliation in a hurry. QTV picked up the vacant Ten affiliation. The station originally broadcast a licence-wide one hour bulletin when Queensland was aggregated, but this was soon axed outside the North Queensland television market. The station's owners, Telecasters North Queensland (later Telecasters Australia), joined the Ten Group Consortium in 1992–1993. This led to a change from QTV to ''Ten Queensland'', and they began to use generic Ten branding. In 2001, Telecasters was purchased by Southern Cross. In that same year, ''Ten Local News'' in North Queensland was axed (along with ''Ten Capital News'' in Canberra) and replaced with ''Ten News Queensland'' from Brisbane – one of the many decisions which led to the local news inquiry by the ABA. In 2002, like the other Southern Cross-owned Ten affiliates, the station was rebranded to ''Southern Cross Ten''. 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「TNQ」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
