History

NBN Television commenced broadcasting to the Newcastle and Hunter Valley region on Sunday, 4th March 1962.

NBN’s market stretches from Central Coast in the south to the Gold Coast, Queensland in the north and west to Moree and Narrabri.

This market has a population of 1.9 million people, and is the fourth largest television market in Australia, behind Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

NBN Television is an independent affiliate of the Nine Network, and the combination of its own locally produced programs, including the region’s number one news service, with the Nine Network’s strong line-up of Australian and international programs, has seen the NBN Group consistently achieve the highest ratings for any station in a major television market across Australia.

Whilst NBN is one of Australia’s most successful broadcasters, it is also committed to providing a high level of community support and local programming.

NBN provides approximately 2000 spots of Community Service Announcements per month, and our Kids Project is a ground breaking service in our region.

Big Dog

BIG DOG is just like a big kid. He rides a bike, plays football, surfs a little, fishes a lot and even cartwheels and most of all always has fun.
The Newcastle Knights are his favourite football team.

BIG DOG is often seen helping out in the community, and in particular he is often spotted at various fund raising functions and local hospitals.

BIG DOG can be seen each evening when its time for BIG DOG and all his friends to go to bed and when he wishes them ‘Good Night Girls and Boys’.
