For history of Ten affiliates - Capital, NRTV, WIN and Ten North Queensland among others. First, the always metro-quality output produced by the incredible Ten affiliate in Canberra, Ten Capital. As you can see, they were the equal of or better than capital city stations: ---

I only lived in Canberra a short time during the late 90s and I recall all the local news services were on at 6pm during this time. 6pm - Ten Capital News 6pm - WIN News 6pm - Prime Local News Ten Capital News ran the full hour I think while WIN and Prime then showed the Sydney news from Nine and Seven respectively on delay at 6:30pm. As a result of this Ten Capital moved Neighbours to 5pm instead of the normal national time of 6:30pm. I can’t recall what they did with the 6pm national program (The Simpsons?). It may have been moved to 5:30pm after Neighbours. ---

I can’t really find any images of the 1991-1995 “Captial Eyewitness News” opener. The closest I could find was the logo itself from a closer sot in a Canberra Raiders report compilation, which proves that the Ten Evening News branding was used. ---

I saw it - and taped it - on a trip to Canberra once. Somehow (I cant remember how) someone got a copy of it (I used to send some of my stuff around) and uploaded, like, one second of it. Yes, I don’t understand why. So, to clarify, this was my tape, uploaded by I don’t know who, and the Capital Eyewitness News part which was recorded was cut. ---

Former Ten affiliate Southern Cross Network in Victoria, as well as providing local news in its heritage markets of Bendigo and Gippsland post-aggregation, also produced a half-hour “national” bulletin, _Southern Cross Eyewitness News_ with Rob Gaylard (ex-GTV9, BTV6), starting in January 1992. ![scnnews1992](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/4/f/4faf54047a85e314e8e626d67f4e205b22a708f9.jpeg) It didn’t have a very long life, seemingly not able to compete with VIC TV’s relay of _National Nine News_ at 6.30 (after the local news) and Prime’s relay of _Seven Nightly News_ at 6.00, so _Southern Cross Eyewitness News_ was soon replaced by a relay of the ATV10 5.00pm news from Melbourne, but when Southern Cross Network became SCN in 1993 they had another go at it, with _SCN Eyewitness News_ at 6.30pm. Not sure who the newsreader was this time around. Again, the attempt was short-lived as was the “SCN” name which was soon (May 1994) to be dumped in favour of a re-branding to Ten and the axing of all local-produced content. ---

When NRTV In coffee/lismore/NNSW switched to ten branding one day. NRTV EVENING NEWS Became TEN EVENING NEWS 1 hour live and local from 6 from ten’s coffee Harbour studios. It lasted about 6 months then was axed with competition from nbn and prime It has its only NRTV look but used the ten logo. ---

Does anyone remember The Workers, that slightly-infamous independently-produced preschool show that aired on Southern Cross Ten around 2011? Would’ve fit much better on an community station. It appears that the show’s YT channel has been slightly more active in the past year, although this doesn’t hint any new content… Never forget the goodnight song: [Next page](https://forums.mediaspy.org/t/ten-affiliates/10540.md?page=2)
