9-8 Television (1972)

In November 1971, NEN-9 Tamworth merged with Taree station ECN-8 to form Television New England, but continued to use the ECN callsign into the mid 1980's. It happened after ECN's failed merger with NRN-11, who later merged with Lismore station RTN-8 to re-form Northern Rivers Television (now 10 Northern NSW). In 1984, the station branded itself 9-8 Television to reflect the channel numbers of the Tamworth and Taree stations.

By the mid-1980's NEN would be broadcasting to Mt. Dowe (Kaputar Plateau) on VHF-9, and to Middle Brother Mountain on VHF-8, with translators at Armidale, Ashford, Inverell, and Quirindi on VHF-10, Glenn Innes on VHF-3, Gloucester on VHF-11, Tamworth on VHF-0, Walcha on VHF-1, Laurieton on UHF-47, and Lightning Ridge on UHF-69.
