Network Ten (commonly known as Channel Ten or simply Ten) is an Australian commercial television network. One of five national free-to-air networks, Ten's owned-and-operated stations can be found in the state capital cities of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth, while affiliates extend the network to regional areas of the country. The network is owned by Ten Network Holdings, which in-turn is owned by Oaktree Capital Management.

The network was launched as ATV-0 in Melbourne opened on 1 August 1964 and was owned by the Ansett Transport Industries, which at the time owned one of Australia's two domestic airlines. TEN-10 in Sydney, which opened on 5 April 1965, was originally owned by United Telecasters, which also in July that year opened TVQ-0 in Brisbane, Queensland. Also opened later that month was SAS-10, serving the city of Adelaide in South Australia.

The new television network was initially dubbed the "Independent Television System" or ITS, but in 1970 adopted the title "The 0/10 Network", which reflected the names of the first two stations launched in the group, ATV and TEN.

Melbourne's ATV was the first station of the network to stage colour broadcasts in 1967, the broadcast was that of the horse races in Pakenham, Victoria which was seen by network and RCA executives and invited members of the media and press. This would the first of many test colour telecasts for the station, and in tribute to this event, the 0-10 Network adopted the First in Colour slogan in 1974, within months before 1 March 1975 transition to colour broadcasting.

On 20 January 1980, the 0/10 Network became known as Network Ten to reflect ATV moving from channel 0 to channel 10 – although the Brisbane station continued to broadcast as TVQ-0 until 10 September 1988 when the station changed to TVQ-10. In 1987 Adelaide's Network Ten affiliate (SAS-10) and Seven Network affiliate (ADS-7) successfully negotiated to exchange affiliation rights and channel frequencies due to ownership problems. On 27 December 1987, the exchange came into effect and ADS-7, owned by the same owners as the main Network Ten stations, became ADS-10 with SAS-10 converting to SAS-7, operated by TVW-7 in Perth.

The network became fully national in 1988 with the launch of NEW-10 in Perth, after the introduction of satellite facilities made it economical for the network to broadcast to Western Australia.

Ten's current Australian program line-up consists of series such as: Neighbours, Bondi Rescue, Australian Survivor, I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, All Aussie Adventures, The Masked Singer Australia, Gogglebox Australia, Celebrity Name Game, Studio 10, The Amazing Race Australia,The Project, The Living Room, Dancing with the Stars, MasterChef Australia, The Bachelor Australia, The Bachelorette Australia, Bachelor in Paradise Australia, Have You Been Paying Attention?, Hughesy, We Have a Problem.

The network's programming is also carried into regional Australia by various affiliate stations, most of which are owned by Southern Cross Austereo.

Ten News is an Australian television news service of Network Ten. The news service produces a nightly ninety-minute long program at 5pm in the capital cities of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth. The network is broadcast to most of the country via affiliated regional television stations. Ten News maintains a federal politics bureau in Canberra, along with foreign offices in Los Angeles and London.

Ten News also assists in the production of Alan Jones Live, political panel program Meet the Press, and the conservative opinion program The Bolt Report. It draws upon the resources of CNN, BBC News, APTN and Reuters for select international coverage.

Network Ten introduced its news service in 1965 and was a pioneering force behind the concept of the hour-long news bulletin with co-anchors in the form of Eyewitness News from 1973 onwards. The 1980s were the network's most successful period as a news provider with its local Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane bulletins often rating highest for their 6pm timeslots. A major change to the service occurred in January 1992 when all five of its local bulletins were moved to the 5.00pm time slot. On 2 December 2019, the 5pm edition of Ten News was extended to 90 minutes.

National bulletins:
Ten Early News is an hour-long national news bulletin, broadcast live from Ten's Pyrmont studios on weekdays from 5am to 6am. The bulletin is presented by Matt Doran, sport is presented by Simon Black and weather is presented by Amanda Jason. Ten Early News is essentially two half-hour bulletins, run back-to-back each containing news, sport, finance and weather. Many reports from overseas affiliates CNN and BBC News are featured, and crosses to Ten's Melbourne and Canberra newsrooms are used frequently to cover overnight news. The bulletin began in January 2006 and it features a number of segments unique to its timeslot, such as morning newspaper headlines from the country's major papers.

Ten Morning News airs at 11:00am on weekdays, presented from the network's Sydney studios by Matt Doran, sport is presented by Simon Black and weather is presented by Amanda Jason. The bulletin began in 1980 and it lasted until 1990 when it was axed due to cost-cutting measures. It was later revived in 1994 and was presented by David Johnston from the Melbourne newsroom and during that period the bulletin followed the successful Good Morning Australia with Bert Newton. In 1996, Jason Cameron took over as presenter for the next four years and at the end of 2000 the network opted to move the bulletin to its new Sydney Studios in Pyrmont. In 2004, the bulletin briefly moved to midday (then called Ten News at Noon) to compete against the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's News at Noon – a decision which proved unpopular.

Ten Late News airs at around 10:30 pm, presented from the network's Sydney studios by Hugh Riminton on weekdays and Natarsha Belling on weekends with sports presenters Scott Mackinnon (weekdays) and Roz Kelly (weekends). Network Ten began airing national late night news bulletins as part of the network's coverage of the First Gulf War in January 1991, which made extensive use of its rights to carry CNN material. The program's straightforward style and format was a clear point of difference with competing programs on rival networks, Seven's chat show Tonight Live with Steve Vizard (which included short news bulletins) and Nine's The World Tonight with Clive Robertson, quickly drawing attention and viewers. In 2006, the bulletin was merged with the late edition of Sports Tonight. On 4 June 2012, the bulletin was extended to 45 minutes. A financial news update is also featured each weeknight, presented by Charlotte Goodlet.

Short localised updates are presented during the afternoons by various state-based reporters or presenters. National evening updates are presented on weeknights from Sydney.

The show differs from Today and Sunrise by not being broadcast on weekends.

Due to Australia having multiple time zones, especially during Daylight Saving Time (which is not kept in Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory), Wake Up is not broadcast live in all of the country but is broadcast delayed in some states. In New South Wales (including the ACT), Victoria and Tasmania, Wake Up is broadcast live all year round.
