Independent (27 November 1965 – 30 June 1997) Southern Cross TV8 (1982–1989) VIC Television (1989–1994) Nine Network (1 July 1997 – 30 June 2016, 1 July 2021 – present) Network 10 (secondary, 1 July 1997 – 2006, 1 July 2016 – 30 June 2021)
During the 1970s, STV formed a programming and operational affiliation with GLV-10 (later GLV-8) in Traralgon and BCV-8 in Bendigo – a partnership expanded upon in 1982 with the establishment of a single on-air identity and programming schedule across the three stations, known originally as Southern Cross TV8 and later, the Southern Cross Network.[2]
Alan Bond's Bond Media brought STV in March 1989, for $18 million, from then-owners Sunraysia Television, after they acquired Channel Nine Perth from Bond who were forced to sell it due to cross-media ownership laws restricting national audience reach. They paid A$95 million for the Perth station.[3][4] Bond later onsold the station to ENT Ltd. later that same year in May and split from the Southern Cross Network shortly afterwards to join the VICTV Television Victoria network, which also encompassed GMV-6Shepparton and BTV-6Ballarat and following aggregation, extended its transmission area into Bendigo, Albury and Gippsland.[5] The VIC TV network was sold to WIN Television in 1994. However, Mildura did not aggregate until 1 July 1997, when Prime Television launched to become a Seven Network affiliate while WIN Mildura became a dual Nine and Ten affiliate. On 30 June 2010, the station ceased broadcasting on analogue as part of the digital TV switchover in the Mildura area.
On 1 July 2016, as part of a wide national re-alignment of regional television, STV swapped affiliations with MDV switching from Nine Network to Network Ten, rebroadcasting a feed of ATV-10 from Melbourne with local ads.
On 1 July 2021, as part of a wide national re-alignment of regional television, STV swapped affiliations with MDV switching back from Network 10 to the Nine Network.
