STW Channel 9 Station Tour in 2008

Описание: STW is owned by WIN Corporation and affiliated to the Nine Network. The call sign STW stands for Swan Television, Western Australia.

STW-9 commenced broadcasting on 12 June 1965 and was the second commercial television station in Perth.

It became the first station in Perth to broadcast 24 hours a day on 17 April 1984

STW-9 broadcasts from a transmitter mast located in Walliston in the Perth Hills beyond Kalamunda. Its operational base and studios are located at 9 Gay Street, Dianella, across the road from Seven's studios.

Nine News Perth is produced and broadcast live from STW's news studios every night at 6pm (repeated week nights at 11.30pm) across Perth and regional Western Australia.

In 2008, when this video was recorded, there were approximately 150 staff working at the station. Presentation was then emanating from the Dianella studios, before this was centralised - resulting in staff redundancies.

In 1983, the station came under the ownership of Bond Media, controlled by businessman Alan Bond, and became a Nine Network owned and operated station when Bond purchased the network. In 1989 Bond Media sold the station to Sunraysia Television for A$95 million. The Eva Presser controlled Sunraysia TV owned around 55% of the company, whilst WIN Television owned 40% of the company.

In 2007, WIN Corporation brought the station for A$163.1 million.
