MTN is a television station licensed to serve Griffith and the surrounding Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area (M.I.A.). The station is owned and operated by WIN Corporation as a Seven Network affiliate.

As WIN is the sole commercial television broadcaster in the area, they also supply the stations AMN, a Network Ten affiliate, and the supplementary station MDN, a Nine Network affiliate. This twinstick operation was permitted due to the broadcasting authorities considering Griffith and the M.I.A. too small for three television companies, but large enough for a single company running two stations. The broadcast region covers approximately 39,700 square kilometres, encompassing 20 urban centres which include Leeton, Narrandera, Hay, Hillston and Lake Cargellico.[3][4] According to 2006 Census data, it is estimated the region has a population of 64,200.[4]

History

MTN began transmission on 15 December 1965 on channel 9.[3] At its launch, MTN was owned by Murrumbidgee Television Limited, a publicly listed company, whose shareholders at the time included local radio station 2RG.[3]

The costs of operating a television station in such a small market led MTN to join with CWN–6 Dubbo and CBN–8 Orange in forming the Television 6–8–9 network, in 1973.[4] While the majority of the programming and identification came from the network, MTN did run its own news service as well as some programs of local interest and popularity, separate to the rest of the network.[4] In March 1981, the network was rebranded as MidState Television.[4] Rancorp, who were the existing owners of stations RVN/AMV in Wagga Wagga and Albury, acquired MidState Television in October 1987, and thus adding additional stations to the network.[4] In November 1988, MidState Television rebranded as Prime Television.[4] During this time, regional areas were serviced by one commercial station and the ABC, and as a result, the regional commercial network hand-picked titles from the three metropolitan commercial networks to air in their region.[5] Unfortunately, this meant that regional viewers were not able to watch all of the same shows as their metropolitan counterparts.[5] As a result, the Hawke government introduced aggregation, whereby regional stations would be grouped together and become sole-affiliates for one metropolitan station, and additional stations would launch in regional areas so that regional viewers had access to the same amount of channels as metropolitan viewers.[5] However, the government deemed Griffith and the M.I.A. to be too small a market for aggregation, and as a result, MTN was abandoned by Prime Television in 1989 and remained independently owned.[6][4] MTN then{{when|date=June 2016}} took up an affiliation with WIN Television, who in turn was a Nine Network affiliate in southern New South Wales.[7] While the majority of the programming was the same as WIN's, it retained its news service and aired some Seven Network programming, such as its coverage of the Australian Football League, in preference to Nine's rugby league.[7]

In 1979, MTN was purchased from Murrumbidgee Television Limited by Henry Jones Limited.[8] Other owners since have included {{citation needed span|The Linter Group, Broadcast Operations Group, Broadcast and Communications Limited|date=June 2016}}, Lochfield Consultants,[9] MTN Television,[10][11] and Associated Media Investments.[24]

The Australian Broadcasting Authority relaxed the rules regarding station ownership in solus markets in the mid-1990s.[7] The changes allowed for one company to operate two stations without competition, provided the Authority did not have reason to believe another company would be interested.[26] MTN applied for a Section 38A licence in 1995, and after being refused once, challenged the Authority, and was successful on appeal – ultimately being granted the second license on 18 July 1996.[12] The second channel launched on 5 October 1997, on UHF channel 31 using the callsign AMN (a variation of Victorian station AMV).{{Citation needed|date=June 2016}} It was a direct feed of Prime Television Orange, with the exception of its local news, which AMN replaced with an alternative Network Ten program.[4][7][13] Since then, AMN has changed from being a direct feed of Prime7 to being a feed of Seven Network Sydney.{{when|date=June 2016}}{{Citation needed|date=June 2016}}

WIN Corporation brought MTN and AMN from then-owner Associated Media Investments on 6 July 1998.[14] Following the sale of the station, minor changes occurred, including MTN changed its on-air branding from MTN9 to WIN, and the news service rebranded as WIN News.[7]

In 2000, the government introduced changes to the Broadcasting Services Act 1992 which allowed for two-station markets such as the M.I.A. to be granted a third license to be broadcast in digital-only.[33] This change in the Act became Section 38B, and saw the region allocated a third license on 14 June 2011.[15] This third station, using the call sign MDN and broadcasting on channel 32, launched on 13 January 2012.[35][16]

In 2012,{{specify|date=November 2016}} MTN and AMN switched their affiliates, with AMN becoming a Nine affiliate and MTN a Seven affiliate.{{Citation needed|date=November 2016}}

On 1 July 2016, to reflect WIN's new affiliation agreement with Network Ten, AMN and MDN swapped affiliates – with AMN becoming a Ten affiliate while MDN became a Nine affiliate.[17][18][19]

Digital television

In 2000, the government introduced changes to the Broadcasting Services Act 1992 which sought for all broadcasters to transmit in digital by 1 January 2004.[20] To assist solus markets such as the M.I.A., the government allowed networks to multichannel the digital broadcasts, whereby the two stations are transmitted on the one channel or frequency.[20] Digital television transmission began in the region in 2003,{{specify|date=June 2016}} with both WIN and Prime broadcasting on the one channel (channel 6).[21]

On 1 December 2010, Network Ten began broadcast into the area for the first time.[22]

In May 2011, WIN announced that it would broadcast the multichannels of the Nine, Seven and Ten networks, including high-definition channels, by December 2011.[23] However, WIN did not meet the deadline, despite the Minister for Communications setting a deadline of 4 December 2011 for the full suite of channels.[24] WIN commented in December 2011 that Go!, Eleven, One and Gem would launch by the third week of January 2012.[24] {{citation needed span|9Go!, 9Gem, Eleven and One|date=June 2016}} began broadcasting on 13 January 2012.[16]{{better source|reason=This reference states only that WIN began broadcasting digital-only channels on 13 January 2012, and does not specifically say which channels these were.|date=June 2016}}

At first, interference from the analogue signals caused issues with some channels, mainly Network Ten channels, which meant a duplicate service of Ten and WIN was provided (on LCN 51 and 81 respectively) and ceased on the day of the switch over.[25] Ultimately, the duplicate channels were replaced by the Seven Network's multi-channels 7TWO and 7mate. 7mate launched on 20 April 2012, replacing WIN's duplication on LCN 81; and 7TWO launched on 5 June 2012, the day of the analogue switchoff, {{citation needed span|replacing the TEN duplication on LCN 51|date=June 2016}}.[26]

Gold, a datacasting channel, began broadcasting in the region on 8 May 2012.{{Citation needed|date=June 2016}}

As part of Australia's digital transition, MTN and AMN ceased broadcasting in analogue on 5 June 2012.[27] As part of the transition, MTN changed from broadcasting on channel 6 to channel 29.[28]

On 13 July 2013, WIN launched datacasting channel Gold 2 – a five-hour timeshift of existing datacasting channel Gold – on channel 82.[29]

On 2 March 2016 (one day later than planned), WIN began broadcasting WIN HD and 9Life in the region. However, unlike existing digital channels, these two channels are broadcast in MPEG-4 as opposed to MPEG-2.[30][31][32]

On 21 January 2016, WIN replaced datacasting channel Gold 2 with the Nine Network owned datacasting channel Extra.{{citation needed|date=July 2016}}

As a result of the 2016 affiliate changes, WIN – in addition to its high definition simulcast – swapped its stations from airing Nine Network programming to Network Ten programming. WIN remained in the 8/80's channel range, but as the new Ten affiliate. Meanwhile, WIN's former affiliate, Nine, had its primary channel, 9Go!, and 9Gem moved to the 5/50's channel range. But as a consequence, 9Life ceased to be available in the region, and Extra was replaced with Network Ten datacasting channel TVSN.[19][33]

Programming

{{refimprove section|date=November 2016}}

The station also carries the Sydney feeds of 7TWO and 7mate. MDN carries programming from Nine Network, which includes the Nine News Sydney bulletin.
