NEW (TV station)

The station's former studios in Dianella were formerly host to the facilities of the regional Western Australian television station WIN Television WA (from 1999 to 2007) until WIN Corporation bought out competitor STW-9 in June 2007 and moved all WA operations to their studios.

The reason for the late launch (in comparison to other VHF 0/10 stations, which were 20 years before) was the smaller market size.

The case for a new licence was made to ACMA, then the Australian Broadcasting Tribunal by Brian Treasure, one of the founders of Western Australia's first television station TVW-7 who was sacked by a hostile board in 1975.

Treasure's West Coast Telecasters, funded by Kerry Stokes and Jack Bendat, was the successful applicant, defeating Western Television, in spite of Treasure being forced to resign as chairman due to a dispute with the Australian Taxation Office.

Satellite revenue generated from national television networks was expected to be significant (though this was not initially the case) and would subsidise the provision of new services to regional and remote areas.

Increasing the audience ownership limits meant national networks and therefore revenue streams for AUSSAT.

The possibility of truly national television networks (and perhaps misunderstandings as to the economic benefits of satellite technology) led to inflated ideas of their worth.

The station commenced broadcasting on 20 May 1988, making Perth the last of the capital cities to get full network service.

The first news team included former Nine newsreader Greg Pearce, Alan Hynd, Gina Pickering, Peter Perrin, Debra Bishop, Ian Brayshaw and John Barnett.

Network Ten then divested CTCTV (Canberra), ADS10 (Adelaide) and NEW10 (Perth) from their direct control to comply with % ownership rules of the time.

On 5 December 2016, the station left Dianella after 28 years and moved to the state-of-the-art studios at 502 Hay Street in Subiaco.

On 13 March 2023, presentation of the Perth bulletin once again returned to the Subiaco studio, with Natalie Forrest becoming anchor.
