Teesside TinTin & What's with the TV station numbers?

Ian & Sarah (our former house-guests) put us on to this on YouTube.....Teesside TinTin basically takes clips from the TinTin cartoon & dubs them with Teesside 'craic'. Very, very amusing even if you're not from the area.... listen out for the invitation to the 'Bongo Club' - one of Boro's more notorious clubs. The link is to the RHS of this blog...

Finally for tonight (feels like a bus writing tonight.... nothing for a week or so & then 3 posts on on night) there's something that's been bothering for me for quite some time. And that's the numbering of the TV channels here.... The original station (from what I understand) was channel 9 in 1956/57... what happened to the first 8? And the current five channels are SBS, ABC, 7, 9 & 10.... what happened to 8? If anyone reading this knows then it would be most appreciated if you could share!
