'''ATN''' is the [[Sydney]] [[Flagship (broadcasting)|flagship]] [[television station]] of the [[Seven Network]] in [[Australia]]. The licence, issued to a company named '''Amalgamated Television Services''', a subsidiary of [[Fairfax Media|John Fairfax & Sons]], was one of the first four licences (two in Sydney, two in [[Melbourne]]) to be issued for commercial television stations in Australia. The station formed an affiliation with [[GTV (Australian TV station)|GTV-9]] Melbourne in 1957, in order to share content. In 1963, [[Frank Packer]] ended up owning both GTV-9 and [[TCN|TCN-9]], so as a result the stations switched their previous affiliations. ATN-7 and [[HSV-7]] joined to create the [[Australian Television Network]], which later became the [[Seven Network]]. ATN-7 is the home of the national level [[Seven News]] bulletins.
