The official opening of regional TV station STV8, serving Mildura and the Sunraysia district. The new channel completes the roll-out of one commercial television service in each major regional centre in Victoria.
The launch of STV8 had originally been scheduled for the previous Saturday but had been postponed at the last minute due to delays with the Australian Broadcasting Control Board.
