TVQ-10 is the Brisbane television station of Network Ten in Australia.
The channel was allocated channel 0 on the VHF band and launched on 1 July, 1965 as TVQ-0. Just like it's Melbourne equivalent, TVQ-0 was initially owned by Sir Reginald Ansett, until the station was taken over in the early 1980s.
On 10 September1988, Toowoomba station DDQ-10 switched frequency to DDQ-0, and TVQ-0 also changed frequency to become TVQ-10, in time for the channel's broadcast of the 1988 Summer Olympics.
