TEN - Television Enterprises?
Some people have vivid imaginations
3 Likes
I would love to know which localities were listed under which callsign pre-aggregation
I was surprised when I saw it myself. I thought it might have been either The Entertainment Network or that its just the channel name just spelt out eg not initials
I always thought it stood for TEN New South Wales
I’m sure they just named it TEN because they could, and any justification is a backronym.
It is not initials for anything, it’s the word “Ten”.
Everyone knows it’s The Entertainment Network! 
They even made an ID for it

Back in the days they had the old “10 TV Australia” logo they’d casually slip in the tagline “the entertainment network” on the occasional promo, and i thought at the time they should emphasise the initials from that slogan. Then a few months later, they did, haha.

Griffith is a bit different though.. a bit light on for 7 and 10 channels… I’m guessing none of the 7/10 multichannels there are HD?

does @schultzy93 or @captaincupcake remember these LCNs? I’m not sure if 10 HD was Riverina or Albury by then.

Definitely would have been Albury, don’t recall us ever having it labelled with Riverina here.

Yes, I think Riverina would have been Wagga Wagga.
