VTV is an Australian television station broadcasting in regional Victoria in Australia. The network was owned by ENT Ltd., before being purchased by the WIN Corporation. Network history VICTV Television Victoria began as a network of several stations serving northern and western Victoria: GMV-6 Shepparton (launched on 23 December 1961) BTV-6 Ballarat (launched on 27 April 1962) STV-8 Mildura (launched on 27 November 1965). Television Victoria was owned and operated by Examiner-Northern TV Ltd, a company which already owned TVT-6 Hobart as well as GMV-6 and BTV-6. Shortly after they purchased STV-8 in 1990, the three Victorian stations took on the on-air identity of VIC TV - Television Victoria, providing a single programming service across all three stations with separate regional news services for each area. As each of the 3 stations aired mostly Nine Network programming especially in the lead up to the VIC TV launch, the new network became, in preparation for the 1992 aggregation of broadcasts, the state level Nine affiliate. Until 1987 these stations aired HSV's Seven News and from that year onward these stations began to broadcast Nine News from GTV. On 1 January 1992, aggregation of regional television took place in Victoria. VIC Television extended their transmission area to incorporate the Bendigo, Albury and Gippsland area markets and officially confirmed as the Nine Network affiliate for most of regional Victoria. However, the Mildura market did not aggregated until 1997 when Prime Television finally launched as a Seven Network affiliate and WIN carried both Nine and Network Ten affiliations. VIC Television had already entered into a program supply agreement with the Nine Network but continued to maintain news services in each of the six regional markets in which it now operated. The official callsigns of GMV and BTV were consolidated into a single callsign of VTV. STV-8 kept its own callsign as it was excluded from the area affected by aggregation. In October 1994, ENT Ltd. sold VIC Television to the WIN Corporation which already operated WIN Television stations in New South Wales, Canberra and Queensland and VIC became WIN Victoria. The stations are now part of the WIN Television network and on the day of its transition, the VIC logo was replaced to mark the change of ownership for the channels with the golden WIN logo used in the eastern states while the 9 dots from the Nine Network logo, which debuted in 1992
