CDT (TV station)
CDT is an Australian digital television station broadcasting in remote central and eastern Australia. It is jointly owned by Seven West Media (owner of Seven Central) and Imparja Television Pty Ltd (owner of Imparja Television) and operates under the company name Central Digital Television.
The station is available via satellite and terrestrial platforms and free-to-air on a number of digital terrestrial transmitters, in remote areas of Australia.
The station is similar to other joint venture services already available in Tasmania, Darwin and Western Australia. Officially, the service's call sign is CDT in the Remote Central and Eastern Australia TV2 licence areas, and IDQ in the Mount Isa TV1 licence area (reflecting the status of sister station ITQ).
Central Digital Television began broadcasting Ten Central, One HD and One SD as digital satellite channels on 30 June 2010, the same day as the Viewer Access Satellite Television service was partially launched. Southern Cross Central and Imparja Television also commenced broadcasting digital satellite channels on the same day. The launch of the commercial digital channels coincided with the first analog television transmitter switch off in Mildura, Victoria. This was so viewers in the area who lost adequate television coverage were able to utilise VAST as an alternative source.
On 10 December 2010, VAST officially launched and began granting access to viewers in the Remote Central and Eastern Australia licence areas. This brought digital television to satellite viewers in the Northern Territory, Queensland and South Australia for the first time. Digital terrestrial transmissions began in Alice Springs, Northern Territory and Mount Isa, Queensland on 2 May 2011, with other areas launching between 2012 and 2013.
The sale Southern Cross Austereo's Seven-affiliated stations, alongside its stake in CDT, to Seven West Media was finalised in July 2025.
CDT is affiliated to Network 10, but sources programming from two stations. 10 Central North is sourced from TVQ Brisbane, and airs 10 News Queensland nightly at 5pm, as well as sports and events live in the Brisbane market.10 Central South is sourced from ATV Melbourne, including 10 News First: Victoria nightly at 5pm and live Melbourne-based sports and events, especially during the winter months. 10 Central South is sourced from TEN Sydney, including 10 News New South Wales nightly at 5pm and live Sydney-based sports and events, especially during the summer months. 10 Drama Central and 10 Comedy Central South are also sourced from ATV Melbourne (during the winter months) and TEN Sydney (during the summer months), while 10 Peach Central North is from TVQ Brisbane (during the winter and summer months).
Previously they broadcast Network 10 programming across their primary and multi channels, through 10 Central North relaying the Melbourne feed of ATV while 10 Central South continued to relay the Adelaide feed of ADS, the stations had also carried the Melbourne and Adelaide schedules of 10 Comedy and 10 Drama through their secondary services.
