TVQ is the Brisbane television station of Network 10 in Australia.
History
In April 1964, the
After News Limited acquired a controlling stake in Ansett, it was required to sell TVQ due to restrictions on the number of television stations one organisation could own. TVQ was sold to Ampol (67%) and 2SM (33%).[5][6][7] In 1984 TVQ was purchased by Qintex.[8]
On 17 September 1987, Darling Downs Telecasters, owner of DDQ10 Toowoomba, purchases TVQ for $123 million, and announces plans to convert the station to the Channel 10 frequency.
On 10 September 1988, DDQ-10 switched frequency to DDQ-0, and TVQ changed frequency to become TVQ-10, in time for the channel's broadcast of the 1988 Summer Olympics, at the same time as its broadcasts of World Expo 88, of which it and the entire Network Ten was the official station.
On 30 November 2015, lightning struck the TVQ transmission tower, cutting its power and lighting.

The Eyewitness News brand returned in July 1989 coinciding with the network relaunch, and it was later renamed as Ten Evening News in January 1990 and then as Ten Eyewitness News in January 1991. In 1994, the Ten News brand was revived for the 2nd time. In September 2013, Ten once again revived the Eyewitness News branding for all its newscasts after a 19-year break. The branding changed to 10 News First in October 2018, in line with the network's broader re-branding to 10.
In September 2020, studio production of the Queensland bulletin was transferred to Network 10's Sydney headquarters, leading to redundancies among presentation and production staff at the Brisbane studios.[9]
