31 October 2018 10 rebrands at 6:30pm from “Ten” to “10” with a new logo and a whole new look with its first major revamp in 27 years. Everything from the on-air presentation and its news services changed. “Ten Eyewitness News” was rebranded as “10 News First” and multichannels ONE became 10 Bold (originally 10 Boss) and 11 became 10 Peach.

2 November 1936: BBC launches its regular television service. I wasn’t aware that for the first few months the service alternated between John Logie Baird’s 240-line system and Marconi-EMI’s 405-lines, with Marconi-EMI’s system taking over completely a few months later.
I wonder if the few sets that were around could switch between the two systems or if the sets were fixed to one or the other system? I imagine sets were compatible with only one or the other.

the dates are correct but technically it was not the start of the Nine or Seven networks as such as networks as we know them didn’t exist until the early 1960s. Initially, TCN9 was aligned to HSV7, and ATN7 with GTV9, for sales and for sharing programs, but they didn’t really identify as networks.
It all changed around 1960 when Frank Packer who owned TCN9 eventually bought GTV9 and set the wheels in motion to create the first commercial “network” by linking the Nines together. But it still wasn’t until 1962 that the changeover started to take effect, and even then some programs still had to wait until various sponsorship contracts had expired before they could “swap” to their network partner.

I realize that. I suppose, It’s more of a date to recognize how old each network is. 10 do it with ATV10.
You mean, ATV-0?
