[edit] History

TVSN began broadcasting in 1995 from their Lane Cove, Sydney headquarters.[4] It was soon listed on the Australian Stock Exchange in 1999 after sustaining some growth. In 2004, the network was acquired by Innovations Direct Pty Ltd, an Australian-based home shopping company which produces a number of direct catalogue publications, including Innovations and Homecare magazines.[5] Channel operations soon moved to new facilities in Frenchs Forest alongside the parent company.
