History

Origins

From the introduction of television in Australia in 1956 up until 1965 there were only two commercial television networks in Australia, the Nine Network and the Seven Network, but in the early 1960s, the federal government began canvassing the idea of licencing a third commercial television station in each city. This decision was seen by some commentators as a way for the government to defuse growing public dissatisfaction with the dominance of imported overseas programming and the paucity of local content. Australian television channels include two government owned national networks, three major commercial capital city networks, several regional commercial networks and independent stations that are generally affiliates of the major networks, and a handful of community stations. ...

Structurally, the Australian television industry was closely modelled on the two-tiered system that had been in place in Australian radio since the late 1930s. One tier consisted of a network of publicly-funded television stations run by the Australian Broadcasting Commission, which was funded by government budget allocation and (until 1972) by fees from television viewer licences. The second tier consisted of the commercial networks and independent stations owned by private operators, whose income came from selling advertising time. // List of Australian radio stations. ...

Founded in 1965, the new television network was initially dubbed the "Independent Television Network" or ITN, but it quickly adopted the title The 0-10 Network which reflected the names of the first two stations in the group. In the early 1990s, Ten also referred to itself by the acronym "The Entertainment Network" in network promotions.

1970s

Over the next few years more stations opened in other capitals and regional centres, and gradually these new stations affiliated with the 0-10 Network. But the Seven Network and the Nine Network were already well entrenched, and for its first five years the 0-10 Network led a hand-to-mouth existence. By the beginning of the 1970s the network was in a precarious financial position and there were predictions that it would fail. The 1970s decade refers to the years from 1970 to 1979, also called The Seventies. ...

The network's salvation came thanks to the adult soap opera serial Number 96, which premiered in March, 1972. The series broke new ground for Australian television and captured the imagination of viewers like few programs before or since. For the next three years it was consistently Australia's top-rating television program and, not surprisingly, its huge popularity attracted advertisers to TEN en masse, with the result that its revenue exploded from just $1 million in 1971 to more than $10 million in 1972.

However, the pattern of ratings dominance was already set, and since the mid-1960s there has been little deviation from the prevalent rankings, with the Nine Network typically in first place, the Seven Network second, Network Ten third and ABC TV a distant fourth.

The gradual evolution of Network Ten into its current form has its origins in the ongoing attempts by media mogul Rupert Murdoch to acquire a prized commercial television licence in Australia's largest capital city market, Sydney. This began when Murdoch's News Ltd purchased the Wollongong station WIN Television in the early 1960s, around the same time he bought Festival Records. In 1977, frustrated by regulatory blocks that prevented him from expanding into the Sydney market, Murdoch sold WIN Television and purchased a 46% share in Ten Sydney.

In 1979, Murdoch made an unsuccessful takeover bid for the Melbourne-based Herald and Weekly Times media group. Although the bid failed, he gained a 50% stake in Ansett, which thus gave him control of Channel 0 in Melbourne. When Murdoch became a American citizen in 1985 so that he could expand his media empire in the United States, Australia's media ownership laws obliged him to dispose of the flagship television stations, which were sold to Northern Star, an offshoot of the Westfield Group conglomerate controlled by property tycoon Frank Lowy.

Ten chief executive Grant Blackley said the deal would further encourage the take up of digital television in Australia.

Controversy

Network Ten was criticised by conservative groups and Liberal backbenchers in 2005 for its reality television series Big Brother.^{[citation needed]}^{[original research?]} Ten was criticised for selecting particularly promiscuous housemates for the 2005 season of the show in an attempt to boost ratings. There were three main objections, all broadcast on its Big Brother Uncut show. One was footage of a housemate with his fly open whilst giving a massage to a female housemate. Another was where a housemate wrote a fetish song about "skidmarks". There was also a "cumulative" rating where various elements of a particular episode together pushed it above the 'MA15+' rating (the highest rating allowed on TV in Australia). There were calls for TV to be rated by an independent body rather than in-house, but the proposal was scrapped after the controversy died down. ^{[citation needed]} To meet Wikipedias quality standards, this article may require cleanup. ...

For the 2006 series Ten appointed two censors to review the show instead of one. Federal Minister for Communications Senator Helen Coonan is reported to say she would be keeping a "close watch on the show's 2006 series". This controversy resulted in Big Brother Uncut being renamed Big Brother: Adults Only for the 2006 season of Big Brother Australia.

In two separate findings, the Australian Communications and Media Authority determined Network Ten breached clause 2.4 of the Commercial Television Industry Code of Practice.

Despite toning down Big Brother: Adults Only significantly in comparison to 2005, the series continued to attract controversy. After Big Brother: Adults Only was abruptly cancelled several weeks early, a subsequent incident of alleged sexual assault in the house saw the removal of two housemates and a huge public outcry calling for the series to be cancelled entirely. This incident generated significant publicity for the show, even prompted the Prime Minister of Australia to call Network Ten to "do a bit of self-regulation and get this stupid program off the air.".^[5] Big Brother 2006 was the sixth series of Big Brother Australia, and was aired on Network Ten. ...

Just prior to the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Network Ten broadcast 911: In Plane Site, a documentary that examined conspiracy theories about the terrorist attacks. Federal Labor politician Michael Danby demanded that the programming director of the station be sacked.^[6] A conspiracy theory is a theory that defies common historical or current understanding of events, under the claim that those events are the result of manipulations by two or more individuals or various secretive powers or conspiracies. ...

Network Ten were highly criticised for their broadcast of the 2006 New Year's Eve celebrations, mostly for the sexual innuendo witnessed between high-profile musician John Foreman and Matthew Newton, who is TV legend Bert's son. Many other complaints were received, particularly in regards to the use of explicit language and crude humour (including a "pashing contest").
