TVQ-0 did not operate a news service until 1974 when it launched '' News Watch '' . The bulletin later adopted the branding '' Eyewitness News '' after rival channel BTQ-7 had relinquished the name , and became the first ever Brisbane newscast to use videotape for its reports . '' Eyewitness News '' continued as a nightly half-hour bulletin until 1984 when it was expanded to a one-hour format ( the last Network Ten station at that time to convert to the one hour newscast used in other major Australian cities save for Perth ) . The station won a Logie award in 1986 for Best News Report for its coverage of the siege at Eagle Farm airport the previous year
