TNQ is an Australian television station, licensed to, and serving the regional areas of Queensland.
Southern Cross 10 in Queensland began in 1978 as North Queensland Television, a partnership between two regional stations: In 1984 NQTV adopted a localised version of NBC's Just Watch Us Now theme and slogan, which had also been used by various metropolitan Seven Network stations the previous year.
When aggregation was announced in the late 1980s, NQTV was planning to be the Nine Network affiliate for regional Queensland.
In addition from the late 1970s the station produced its own 30-minute, weekly current affairs program Newsweek[3] and focus, the first live TV debate of its kind in North Queensland.
Local news was reintroduced to the station in 2004 in the form of three-minute updates at various times of the day.
TNQ broadcast Nine News editions from Sydney and Brisbane (national and state) as well as A Current Affair and 60 Minutes.
In addition, TNQ served, from 2017 to 2020, as co-producer of the Brisbane-based weekday editions of Nine News Darwin that are aired within the Northern Territory, until NTD resumed production.
The first of the new Nine News regional editions produced from Brisbane premiered for the Sunshine Coast viewers on 21 August 2017.
