Comments
The Golden West Network is based in Bunbury and is now part of the Prime Television Network. Most programming other than local news is provided by the Seven Network in an affiliation agreement.
Most archival news footage has been centralised in the Canberra headquarters, and will be digitised, along with other Prime film and tape (see separate entry for Prime Television Network). The National Film and Sound Archive also holds a collection of Golden West Network news footage. The National Library of Australia and the State Library of Western Australia hold some company documents of the Golden West Network and its predecessor South Western Telecasters.
