There was originally not a "Channel 9 Australia".

Australia's very first TV broadcast was made by TCN Channel 9 in Sydney at 7:00pm on 16 September 1956. It did not broadcast regularly at first.

A regular broadcasting service was only provided in January of 1957, and this was initiated by GTV 9, in Melbourne. However, GTV 9 was permitted to broadcast the Melbourne Commonwealth Games prior to its official opening.

These two stations merged with QTQ 9 in Brisbane and NWS 9 in Adelaide in 1963 to form Australia's national channel 9 network.
