Excerpt: NWS (TV station) - NWS-9 began broadcasting on September 5, 1959. NWS-9 was the first television station broadcasting in Adelaide. NWS-9 studios is located at Tynte Street, North Adelaide. The station was owned by Rupert Murdoch who also owned The News newspaper. Popular shows produced in the past at NWS-9 include the variety show Adelaide Tonight, science show The Curiosity Show, The Country and Western Hour, children's show Channel Niners, Here's Humphrey and The Breakfast a Go Go. In early 1980, NBN Limited purchased Southern Television Corporation Limited, owners of NWS, for AUD$19 million. In 1981, Hadjoin Pty. Ltd., a subsidiary of Parry's Esplanade Limited (later Parry Corporation), purchased 19.88% of NBN Limited for AU$6.7 million. Following this, Parry then attempted to buy Wasley's stake in NBN, but was blocked by the Supreme Court of New South Wales. It was later revealed that the Lambs had opposed NBN's purchase of the Star newspaper and the attempt to buy 2HD. The company also faced possible suspension from the Australian Stock Exchange if a decision wasn't made soon. In order to resolve the tension, NBN sold NWS to the Lambs in exchange for the majority stake in NBN in 1982.
