The '''Nine Network''' (stylised '''9Network''', commonly known as '''Channel Nine''' or simply '''Nine''') is an Australian commercial free-to-air [[television network]]. It is owned by parent company [[Nine Entertainment]] and is one of five main [[free-to-air television]] networks in Australia.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Our Name|newspaper=Nine for Brands |url=https://www.nineforbrands.com.au/our-name/|access-date=8 February 2021}}</ref>
