ATN is the Sydney flagship television station of the Seven Network in Australia. The licence, issued to a company named Amalgamated Television Services, a subsidiary of Fairfax, was one of the first four licences (two in Sydney, two in Melbourne) to be issued for commercial television stations in Australia. It began broadcasting on 2 December 1956.
The station formed an affiliation with GTV-9 Melbourne in 1957, in order to share content. In 1963, Frank Packer ended up owning both GTV-9 and TCN-9, so as a result the stations switched their previous affiliations. ATN-7 and HSV-7 joined to create the Australian Television Network, which later became the Seven Network.
The station opened in 1956 with principal offices and studios located at Mobbs Lane, Epping (a suburb about 12 kilometres north west of Sydney). The initial black and white cameras and other equipment was supplied by the Marconi Company of England. Conversion to PAL colour occurred on 1 March 1975. Digital DVB-T commenced on 1 January 2001.
Dear mother I am lost and the damage has been done.
I’m in love with my old century fix and this needle can’t be wrong,
But I wonder?
Where do we go from here because we’re never coming home?
The sequel to this nightmare lasts forever, forever.
One last goodnight, with this painted picture in our minds the voice inside that sings tonight.
One last goodnight, with this painted picture in our minds the voice inside that sings tonight.
I’m not scared at all, so let’s walk away.
I’m not scared at all, so now walk away.
Dear mother now beyond the grave you’re the soul that wants me.
Front row with a cigarette, you’re the ghost that haunts me,
But I wonder?
I’m too fucked up to come home,
I swear this heart was made of stone,
I won’t pretend that everything’s alright when it’s not.
One last goodnight, with this painted picture in our minds the voice inside that sings tonight.
One last goodnight, with this painted picture in our minds the voice inside that sings tonight.
I’m not scared at all, so let’s walk away.
I’m not scared at all, so now walk away.
Wake me now drive faster, make me now a disaster,
Take me now live after and walk away.2x
Can you design living through hell and back again?
It’s the life that’s killing you walk away friend.
Can you design living through hell and back again?
It’s the life that’s killing you walk away WALK AWAY!!!
One last goodnight, with this painted picture in our minds the voice inside that sings tonight.
