Based in Sydney, Club Superstation commenced transmissions from 14 October 1986, giving it the distinction of being the first Australian subscription television service.[1] Programming consisted of sports events ranging from football, boxing, darts and greyhound racing from around the world, as well as a music video programme between matches. The channel was distributed exclusively to hotels and clubs in New South Wales via satellite.[2] Club Superstation was also notable for launching the television careers of Richard Wilkins and Peter Overton, who would both later continue working for the Nine Network.[3][4]
Club Superstation was acquired by Alan Bond in June 1987, and was absorbed into Bond's Sky Channel.[5]
