WIN Television

WIN Television is an Australian television network owned by the WIN Corporation that is based in Wollongong, New South Wales. WIN commenced transmissions on 18 March 1962 as a single Wollongong-only station, and has since expanded to 24 owned-and-operated stations with transmissions covering a larger geographical area of Australia than any other television network except for the Australia Network which broadcasts to 44 countries.

Throughout Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, the Australian Capital Territory, Western Australia and Tasmania, it is a Nine Network affiliate and in South Australia it is a Seven Network affiliate.

The network's name, WIN is a reference to its original Wollongong station WIN-4, itself an acronym of Wollongong Illawarra New South Wales. Through its news division, WIN News, WIN Television broadcasts a half-hour news service to twenty regional markets.

Famous quotes containing the words win and/or television:

    You win the victory when you yield to friends.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)

    Television is an excellent system when one has nothing to lose, as is the case with a nomadic and rootless country like the United States, but in Europe the affect of television is that of a bulldozer which reduces culture to the lowest possible denominator.
    Marc Fumaroli (b. 1932)
