NTD-8

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

NTD-8 is an Australian television station, licensed to and serving Darwin and its surrounds. It is owned by Publishing and Broadcasting Limited, and is a full member of the Nine Network. It broadcasts on VHF channel 8.

It was launched on 11 November 1971, and was Darwin's only commercial television station until TND-34 (Seven Darwin, now Southern Cross Darwin) launched in 1998. Following TND-34's launch, NTD-8 became affiliated with both the Nine Network and Network Ten.

On New Year's Day 2003, Channel 8 Darwin became Channel 9 Darwin, in line with the rest of PBL's stations. Also on that date, programs from Network Ten decreased, much to viewers outrage. In 2005 the Network Ten affiliation was officially relinquished, which was then taken by Southern Cross Darwin.

In 2005, in the midst of the tug-of-war for the AFL television rights, PBL announced that National Rugby League games will take precedence on the station over AFL games, a sign that Nine may have be about to give up the race for the rights to a proposed Seven-Ten consortium, which they did, but not without putting in a $780 million dollar bid for the rights.

The 6:00pm Darwin National Nine News bulletin is presented by Jonathan Uptin, alongside the sports presenter Angelina Anictomatis. Other journalists there include Camden Smith, Lisa Andrews, Tim Arvier and Justin O'Brien.
