I think he may have meant master control or acted as the source of programs for Imparja and NTD?

but NBN was used for a lot of things, like re-transmission and other station programming, yes?
Did anywhere in Australia have TV Translators or Transmitters on VHF Channel 5 back in the dayā¦ anywhere?
Yes there were TV stations on Channel 5, including ABQN Central Western Slopes, ABHN Newcastle, and translators at DDQ Toowoomba, RTN Murwillumbahā¦ ABHN and DDQ would both move to channel 5A.
question hereā¦ what call signs and naming would have been used during the peroid of Great Eastland Television or GET?
- iām surprised that ABRV Ballarat didnāt have a studio for Western Victoria
- ABSW is the only station in Australia to use channel 5
@everyone
How many call signs used the VHF Channel 9A?
Prior to 2014, ABC-3 Canberra broadcasted digitally on VHF-9A.
DDQ/SDQās on-air branding at that time was GET 10-4-5A.

Apart from the Rockhampton and Townsville stations I donāt think there were any regional ABC sites with studios. Possible exception maybe being ABC in Canberra

NEN9/ECN8 changed their name to 9-8 Television in about 84 and I believe RTN8/NRN10 adopted NRTV during a similar period
I was asking when GET was around, did any of their stations carry a GET call sign and the then channel number like GET 10-4-5a? Did others do this as well?
NRN/RTN was known as Great Eastland Television 11-8. No change to the official call sign.
