QTV (Queensland Television)

1990

In 1990, North Queensland Television was rebranded to Queensland Television with the "North" being dropped from its name and using the QTV abbreviation in preparation for statewide aggregation. This logo was used for its intended affiliation with the Nine Network until WIN Television bought RTQ-7 Rockhampton which caused QTV to align with Network Ten prior to aggregation.

On 31 December 1990, TNQ's signal expanded into Darling Downs/Toowoomba on UHF-41, Mackay and Wide Bay/Maryborough on UHF-33, Rockhampton on UHF-34, and Warwick/Southern Downs on UHF-39.

On the same day, FNQ's callsign was changed to TNQ.
