TNT is a television station based in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia. Originally broadcasting only to Launceston and Northern Tasmania, it has broadcast to the whole of Tasmania since aggregation of the Tasmanian television market in 1994. Owned by Southern Cross Austereo, it is now branded as Southern Cross Television.
Southern Cross Television produces the market's number one news bulletin Southern Cross News daily plus local lifestyle and sports programming.
Previous local programmes produced by TNT-9 include Sports Club (weekly sports review), Quiz Quest (children's game show), The Saturday Night Show (variety), Down the Line (morning talk/local events), The Saturday Morning Fun Show (kids), Tasmanian New Faces (talent) and annual coverage of Targa Tasmania and The Launceston Cup.
Southern Cross News is the station's flagship news program, broadcast live every night at 6:00pm from the station's Launceston studios. Short news updates are also produced and broadcast throughout the day alongside the national Seven News Updates. The nightly news bulletin is consistently the highest rating television program in Tasmania. A shortened version of the day's bulletin is upload on their website.
Outside of this bulletin, Southern Cross Tasmania airs national news and current affairs output from the Seven Network, including:
The fishing show Hook, Line and Sinker is the most popular Tasmanian-made program airing and is broadcast Australia-wide. The program is hosted by former news journalists Andrew Hart and Nick Duigan.
Renovation Relief is a DIY Program hosted by famous wood-chopper David Foster in which he and a team of people from sponsors (i.e. Gunns) renovate a house, most commonly for people who have done something for the community or have enabled children.
Broadcast every night during Targa Tasmania fortnight, Andrew Hart and Nick Duigan report and review the events of the day.
Holiday at Home is a lifestyle program which promotes places to stay and things to do in Tasmania.
For the ten weeks leading up to the Burnie Ten, Mark Connelly trains a group of people in a program sponsored by Southern Cross Tasmania. Weekly updates are broadcast during commercial breaks. In the early years of the program, people who took part were well known in Tasmania, however in 2006, a Launceston family were trained to run the event.
