Broadcast Facilities

IIRC, the old BCV TV studios were once home to Bendigo IPTV, a community television venture that eventually failed. Afterward, the company seemingly rebranded and was relaunched as a local sports broadcasting firm called Supayou.

They only fire up their DR, or NR as TEN terms it, at MHA if required.

If you’re talking metro locations, TEN do TX DR fortnightly, & a full studio DR which includes feeds to everyone & from CBS/Paramount in the USA roughly monthly.

Great little find. As discussed above. The building and facilities are still there.

Was that map at the top of the newsroom there when the bulletin was presented from the newsroom floor? Because it looks familiar.

Great view of the newsroom.
I think it’s been mentioned that the world map was part of their original newsroom set

Certainly changed a bit.

WhitebaitMedia (formerly Whitebait-TV), the makers of What Now and various other productions (e.g. The Erin Simpson Show, The 4.30 Show, The Adam & Eve Show, Fanimals, Brain Busters, The Feed and Darwin + Newts), had been based in a purpose-built studio and post production facility since 2009. After 15 years the company relocated to a small office space in downtown Christchurch (64 Gloucester Street).

Below are the snapshots of the former offices and studios of WhitebaitMedia. I wish my dream television network’s (PTV Network New Zealand) South Island base would be located at 41 Princess Street in the Christchurch suburb of Riccarton, although this is off-topic…

I’m going to ask here, because it’s related to a Broadcast Facility & the General TV history thread is locked.

We’re (TXA) doing some minor renovations to the Artarmon Transmission site & are going to make a history wall in the reception/waiting/lunch room & we’re looking for some high resolution historical station logos for 7, 9 & 10.
I have some, but also have some that aren’t very good quality, we want to be able to print them out & frame them to hang on the wall.

The 7 & 9 logos have always been much the same across the country, but TEN had different logos to the other 10 stations until around the mid 1980’s, so we only want early TEN Sydney logo’s, not early 10 logos from Melbourne/Brisbane.

If you’ve got any post them here so I can download them, I’ll post a photo here of the wall/s when we’ve finished the works.

Thanks guys, all will be much appreciated.

I’m not entirely sure of the legality of this site, but Logopedia has an archive of TEN-10 logos that may be of use

That’s ironic being the site was set up by TEN10. Would love to have had a tour of that facility in the day when I lived in Sydney.
Did a tour of the Gore Hill site in the early 2000’s when both analogue and digital TV transmitters were active for ABC and SBS and the digital only D44. Plus the ABC Classic/SBS/2JJJ/NOVA FM TX’s.

Foyer at 1 Denison.Street (Nine Sydney).

Looks like any other foyer really

The Channel 7 sign at Martin Place is still there … Possibly because no one else has moved in yet?

The blue “For Lease” sign is quite old now and out of date in its text.
