10 was an Australian television network distributed by Southern Cross Austereo (SCA) in regional Queensland, southern New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, regional Victoria, the Spencer Gulf and Broken Hill. SCA's network was the primary affiliate of Network 10 in these regional areas.

Key Information

On 17 December 2024, Southern Cross Austereo announced the sale of their regional television licenses in Regional Queensland, Southern NSW/ACT and Regional Victoria to Network 10.[1] The sale was completed on 1 March 2025.[2]

History

[edit]

Origins

[edit]

Southern Cross began as a small network of three stations in regional Victoria. The Southern Cross TV8 network comprised GLV-10 Gippsland, BCV-8 Bendigo, and STV-8 Mildura.[3]

GLV was the first regional television station in the country, launched on 9 December 1961.[3] BCV-8 launched in the same year, on 23 December, while STV followed four years later, on 27 November 1965.[3] GLV-10 became GLV-8 in 1980, when Melbourne commercial station ATV-0 moved frequencies to become ATV-10[3] The network began life in 1982 as Southern Cross TV8, but later changed its name in 1989 to the Southern Cross Network.[3] Soon after this, STV-8 left the network after it was bought by businessman Alan Bond, and eventually sold on to ENT Limited (owners of Vic TV and Tas TV).[3][4]

1992–2016: 10 affiliation

[edit]

Regional Victoria was aggregated in 1992.[5] VIC Television, based in Shepparton and Ballarat affiliated with the Nine Network, while Prime Television, based in Albury-Wodonga became an affiliate of the Seven Network.[5] Southern Cross, therefore, took on an affiliation with Network Ten.[3] Soon after, it changed its name and logo to SCN, directly emulating the look of its metropolitan counterpart. Local news was axed six months later, while the name and logo changed once again to Ten Victoria along with new names Ten Capital, Ten Northern NSW & Ten Queensland as they carried and introduced the Network Ten logo into their brand.[3]

Canberra-based station Capital Television was purchased by Southern Cross' owner, Southern Cross Broadcasting, in 1994.[6][7] It was soon integrated into the network, taking on the name Ten Capital soon after.[6][8]

Southern Cross Broadcasting acquired Telecasters Australia in 2001.[9] As a result, Ten Queensland and Ten Northern NSW became a part of the Southern Cross Ten network, while Telecasters' other assets – Seven Darwin and Seven Central – were later integrated into the Southern Cross network.[9][10] Local news bulletins in Canberra and parts of Queensland were axed on 22 November 2001 – one of a number of moves taken by Southern Cross and competitor Prime Television that resulted in an investigation by the Australian Broadcasting Authority into the adequacy of regional news.[11]

The network expanded into the Spencer Gulf and Broken Hill areas on 31 December 2003[12] under a supplementary license granted to Southern Cross GTS/BKN by the ABA.[13]

Southern Cross Ten moved away from generic Network Ten branding – in use since the early 1990s for most areas – with a new logo, similar to that of parent company Southern Cross Broadcasting in 2005.[citation needed]

Three-minute local news updates were introduced in 2004, following recommendations put into place following the ABA's report.[11] The brief bulletins, produced out of the network's Canberra production centre, are made for the network's seventeen license areas.[11][citation needed]

Southern Cross Ten began broadcasting MyTalk, a datacast channel owned by Southern Cross Broadcasting on 13 April 2007 on LCN 55.

It was anticipated that the network would be acquired by the Macquarie Media Group, following a A$1.35 billion takeover recommendation made to shareholders by Southern Cross Broadcasting on 3 July 2007,[14] and on 5 November 2007, this purchase was completed.[15]

Southern Cross Ten ceased to broadcast MyTalk on 25 February 2008, after the Macquarie acquisition.

Southern Cross Ten began broadcasting Ten's digital channel, One HD (now 10 Bold) on 2 July 2009 on LCN 50.[16]

Southern Cross Ten began broadcasting Ten's digital channel, Eleven (now 10 Peach) on 11 January 2011 on LCN 55.[17][18]

Southern Cross Ten began broadcasting Ten's datacast channel, TVSN in December 2012 on LCN 54.

Southern Cross Ten began broadcasting its own datacast channel, Aspire TV on 21 May 2013 on LCN 56.

2016–2021: Affiliation with Nine Entertainment

[edit]
"Nine On 5", "Southern Cross 9", "Southern Cross Nine", "Nine (Southern Cross Austereo)", "Nine Regional (Southern Cross Austereo)", and "Nine Regional" redirect here. For the Nine affiliate station in the Spencer Gulf/Broken Hill area owned by Southern Cross Austereo, see GDS/BDN. For the Nine Network-owned station formerly owned by Southern Cross Broadcasting, see NWS (TV station). For other uses, see SC-9 (disambiguation).

On 29 April 2016, Southern Cross Austereo announced that it had signed a five-year affiliation deal with Nine Entertainment Co., owner of the Nine Network, for almost $500 million, taking the place of WIN Television as the primary regional Nine affiliate. On 1 July 2016, Southern Cross switched its primary affiliation from Network Ten to the Nine Network and Nine's metropolitan branding was introduced across Southern Cross' television assets in Queensland, Southern NSW and Victoria,[19] joining its existing Nine affiliate station in Spencer Gulf, SA and Broken Hill, NSW. Southern Cross' Northern NSW station, NRN, was not part of the deal as the Nine-owned NBN Television already operated in the region.[20][19]

Upon the affiliation change, the channel listing for Southern Cross' Nine-affiliated stations was reshuffled with Nine on channels 5 and 51, 9HD on channel 50, 9Gem on channel 52 in standard definition, 9Go! on channel 53, 9Life on channel 54 and Aspire TV on channel 56.[21] GDS/BDN Spencer Gulf/Broken Hill remained unchanged with Nine on channel 8, 9Gem on channel 80 and 9Go! on channel 88. As a result, TVSN stopped broadcasting and was replaced with a To Be Advised slide until being replaced with Yesshop on 1 August 2016.

Due to the need to import and install the required equipment, Southern Cross originally stated that it would not immediately offer Nine's digital services 9HD and 9Life upon the transition; the broadcaster stated that they planned to begin transmitting them by mid-August—a delay which would have caused the third match of the 2016 State of Origin series on 13 July to not be transmitted in high definition in the affected regions—which includes parts of the New South Wales and Queensland regions who play the series.[22] However, on 24 June 2016, Southern Cross announced that it had been "working tirelessly to get HD to air as quickly as possible", and 9HD became available from launch day on channel 50.[23] The same approach also prompted 9Life to return early on 17 July 2016.[24][25]

Southern Cross announced on 25 July 2016 that it would broadcast the New Zealand-based home shopping channel Yesshop as a datacast service. The channel became available on 1 August 2016 in Queensland, Southern NSW, ACT and Victoria on LCN 55.[26] However, Yesshop's owner (Yes Retail) made the decision to cease trading on 29 September 2016 citing lack of funds to pay wages and the company's current losses of approximately 20 million dollars.[27] Employees were terminated the same day, and the channels were removed on Freeview later that day.[28]

Following months of negotiations, Southern Cross finalised an agreement on 28 March 2017 to sell their Ten-affiliated Northern NSW station, NRN, to WIN Television for a total of $55 million,[29][30][31] with the sale taking effect on 31 May 2017.[32][33] Due to operational logistics, WIN did not commence broadcasting their identity to the NRN market until 1 September 2017. This sale relieved Southern Cross of their only sole Ten-affiliated station, with their remaining Ten affiliate, SGS/SCN operating in the Spencer Gulf/Broken Hill region where Southern Cross holds monopoly ownership of all three network affiliates.

On 17 July 2017, Southern Cross launched American religious channel SonLife Broadcasting Network (SBN), owned by evangelist Jimmy Swaggart, as a datacast service. The channel is broadcast in regional Queensland, Southern NSW & ACT, and regional Victoria on channel 55 via Southern Cross' Nine-affiliated stations, and in Tasmania on channel 64, Spencer Gulf SA & Broken Hill NSW on channel 54, and Darwin on channel 74 via Southern Cross' Seven affiliate remaining stations.[34][35]

2021–2024: Return to 10 affiliation

[edit]

On 12 March 2021, Nine announced that it would return to WIN Television as its regional affiliate in most markets beginning on 1 July 2021, in a deal that would last at least seven years.[36][37] This has ended SCA's five-year agreement with the Nine Network. On 25 June 2021, SCA and Network 10 announced a two-year affiliation deal in regional Queensland, Southern NSW and regional Victoria, which introduced 10 Shake into regional areas for the very first time and it broadcasts on Channel 54,[38] as well as Sky News Regional which launched on 1 August 2021 and it broadcasts on Channel 56.[39] On this network, Aspire TV ceased to broadcast on 31 July 2021, to accommodate Sky News Regional.

The affiliation deal between SCA and Network 10 was extended to 31 December 2023, on 27 June 2023.[40]

SCA began broadcasting 10's datacast channel, Gecko on 1 July 2023 on LCN 57.

2024–2025: Sale of stations

[edit]

On 17 December 2024, Southern Cross Austereo announced they are selling their regional television licenses in Regional Queensland, Southern NSW/ACT and Regional Victoria over to their affiliate Network 10.[1] As part of the sale, SCA will receive a share of profits from the stations for the first 5 years post-completion.[41] The sale was completed on 1 March 2025.[2]

On 26 February 2025, Southern Cross Austereo announced they would be selling their remaining regional television licenses, including their remaining Nine and 10 affiliated stations in the Spencer Gulf and Broken Hill to Australian Digital Holdings.[42] However, negotiations fell through and an agreement was then made with Seven West Media, owners of the Seven Network, to purchase the stations.[43] The sale was completed on 1 July 2025 and marked SCA's exit from television broadcasting.[44]

Programming

[edit]

Southern Cross's programming schedule is almost identical to that of its metropolitan counterpart, Network 10, with some differences.

The channel previously broadcast State Focus at 12pm Sunday from February 2004[45] until January 2009, a magazine program featuring interviews from people across the regions where the channel broadcasts. It was presented by Guy Sweeting in Southern NSW and in Canberra, Mike Frame in regional Queensland, and Judi Hogan in regional Victoria and Amy Bainbridge in Northern NSW.[46][additional citation(s) needed] The channel also broadcasts infomercials, which until 2009, were shown in place of Judge Judy during the day and are in place of some other programs overnight. As well as this, locally produced programming such as Hook, Line and Sinker, Country Matters, The Hit List TV, Landed Music, The Benchwarmers Oz Made and The Hit Rater.com were also shown on the channel in the past.

News and current affairs

[edit]

Southern Cross news updates (2004–2017)

[edit]

Prior to 2017, short local news updates were aired throughout the day for each of the seventeen licence areas served throughout regional Queensland, New South Wales, the ACT and Victoria. These updates were broadcast throughout the network's daytime and primetime programming, hourly and lasting from one to three minutes, branded variously as Southern Cross News, Southern Cross Ten News, Southern Cross Ten Local News (2014–16) and Local News Headlines (2016–17). The updates were produced from Southern Cross Austereo's studio in Canberra and made use of news content from local radio stations owned by SCA in each market. Local sports and weather reports also aired on a sporadic basis. Short updates were also aired throughout the day and evening alongside updates from 10 News First, or from 2016, Nine News. The bulletins are researched, produced and presented by a single journalist.

Prior to the formation of the Southern Cross Ten network, the Canberra and North Queensland stations broadcast one-hour nightly localised news bulletins. However, both were axed in late 2001 due to cost-cutting measures.

Regional programming was reintroduced in March 2011 with the launch of Weeknights, a 30-minute regional news magazine program broadcast in Shepparton and the Goulburn Valley, only to be axed in May 2015.[47]

Nine News Regional (2017–2021)

[edit]
Main article: Nine News § Nine News Local (2017–2021)

As part of the new affiliation deal between the Nine Network and Southern Cross in 2016, the Local News Headlines were phased out on their now-Nine affiliated stations and were replaced by full one-hour local Nine News bulletins produced by Nine.[48] In August 2016, the director of Nine's news & current affairs division, Darren Wick announced that Queensland news director Mike Dalton had been appointed to head the new Nine News Regional division to initiate Nine and Southern Cross Austereo's new regional news service in 2017.[49]

Southern Cross' Nine-affiliated stations that received the bulletins were TNQ Queensland, CTC Southern New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, and GLV/BCV Victoria.[48] The bulletins were produced by Nine News, presented from Nine's existing studio facilities in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne respectively.[50][51]

The bulletins' formats were similar in style to the Nine-owned NBN News bulletin in northern New South Wales, as a composite of international, national and local news.[52] On 17 March 2020, production on the composite bulletins were suspended indefinitely, with reporters deployed to the metropolitan bulletins in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.[53]

10 News First local updates, Sky News agreement (2021–2025)

[edit]

Following the switch back to Network 10 affiliation on 1 July 2021, Southern Cross returned to producing local news updates after a five-year absence. The updates carry the 10 News First branding and are produced out of the networks Launceston (QLD updates) and Hobart (Southern NSW and VIC updates) studios. The Southern NSW and Canberra updates are presented by Will Boddy, the Regional Queensland updates are presented by Stacey Eldridge, and the Regional Victoria updates are presented by Sarah Bennallack. The updates, which typically don't include any corresponding news footage or soundbites, are researched, produced and presented by a single journalist. Fill-in presenters include Zeke Gaffney, Stephanie Dalton and Madeline Kerr

In May 2021, SCA reached a content agreement with Sky News Australia, under which it would distribute the new free-to-air Sky News Regional beginning 1 August 2021. The service is a de facto replacement for the Sky News on WIN service that it previously distributed.[39][54][55]

Availability

[edit]

Southern Cross is available in standard definition and high definition digital format. In all areas, an additional 1080i high definition simulcast is also available[citation needed]. The network is available primarily through free-to-air terrestrial transmitters, with subscription cable also provided by TransACT and Neighbourhood Cable in the Australian Capital Territory and Ballarat, respectively.[56][57]

Southern Cross Austereo operates the following stations which broadcast Network 10 programming:

Logos

[edit]

Southern Cross's first networked logo produced and used across its regional stations was in 2002, featuring the word Southern Cross below Network Ten's logo.[6] This logo was used across the network until 2005, when a new logo was introduced featuring a blue and yellow star with the word Ten added beside Southern Cross. This logo was used between 2005 and 2016, and was launched concurrently with similarly designed logos on Southern Cross' Seven-affiliated stations and across Southern Cross Broadcasting's other assets.[6]

Once Southern Cross switched affiliation to Nine on 1 July 2016, the channel switched to using full time Nine branding.[19]

Following the reversal of the 2016 regional affiliation switch on 1 July 2021, the channel switched to using full time 10 branding.

from Grokipedia
10 was a regional Australian commercial television network owned and operated by (SCA), broadcasting Network 10's primary channel (10), multichannels (10 Bold, 10 Peach, and ), and associated programming to audiences in regional , southern and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), and regional Victoria. It provided local news, weather, and sports updates tailored to its regional markets, serving as Network 10's affiliate in these areas from 2021 until its divestment in early 2025. The network's origins trace back to SCA's acquisition of regional television stations in the 2000s, with Southern Cross Ten launching as Network 10's affiliate across multiple eastern Australian markets in the early 2000s, including expansions into , , and Victoria. In 2016, SCA underwent a major affiliation realignment, switching most of its stations in regional , southern /ACT, and regional Victoria to the , while retaining the Ten affiliation only in northern . This period marked a temporary end to broad Ten coverage under the Southern Cross brand, but in 2021, SCA announced a new affiliation agreement with , restoring broadcasts of 10 and its multichannels across the previous markets (regional , southern /ACT, and regional Victoria) starting 1 July 2021. The re-affiliation included enhancements like high-definition (HD) broadcasting where available and local content insertions. Programming on 10 (Southern Cross Austereo) primarily consisted of Network 10's national schedule, featuring popular shows such as The Project, MasterChef Australia, and sports coverage including the AFL and cricket, supplemented by regional news bulletins produced from hubs in markets like Toowoomba (Queensland), Wagga Wagga (southern New South Wales), and Bendigo (Victoria). Local news focused on community events, weather, and state-specific stories, with short updates aired during key programs. The network also carried Network 10's digital channels, ensuring access to diverse content like drama on 10 Bold and family-oriented programming on 10 Peach. In December 2024, SCA announced the sale of its regional television licenses in regional Victoria, southern /ACT, and regional to (owned by ) for an undisclosed amount, with the transaction completing in March 2025 and integrating these stations directly into 's operations. This divestment, part of SCA's strategic shift away from television to focus on its core radio and digital audio businesses (including , , and LiSTNR), effectively ended 10 (Southern Cross Austereo) as a distinct entity. By late 2025, following the announcement of SCA's proposed merger with on 30 September 2025 and its approval by the ACCC on 13 November 2025, the company's media portfolio emphasized national radio and print, while the former 10 regional services continued under 's direct ownership.

History

Origins

Southern Cross Broadcasting emerged as a key player in regional Australian television through the merger of local stations in Victoria during the early , forming the Southern Cross TV8 network in 1982 by combining BCV-8 (), GLV-8 (), and STV-8 (/Sunraysia). These stations, which had launched in the early —BCV-8 on 23 and GLV-8 on 9 —operated independently, producing , coverage, and community programs to serve rural audiences in central and northern Victoria. The company's roots extended to , with Southern Cross Broadcasting formally established as a public entity in 1987 to consolidate these media assets. The foundational expansion of what became the 10 regional network occurred in 1992 via television market aggregation, authorized by the Broadcasting Services Act 1992, which enabled independent regional licenses to extend coverage across combined markets for economic viability. This process allowed Southern Cross to acquire and integrate existing licenses in (building on 1980s developments like the QTV brand for regional Ten services), southern (including Capital Television in ), and further Victoria, creating a unified regional presence. Prior to aggregation, these stations functioned as standalone broadcasters emphasizing hyper-local content, such as tailored news bulletins and events coverage in remote areas like (), (), and (), where production focused on community relevance over national programming. For example, stations with 1960s origins, like RTQ-7 in (launched 7 September 1963), prioritized local productions to connect with isolated viewers. A pivotal milestone was the 1992 Act's implementation, which spurred Southern Cross's growth from radio-centric operations into television dominance in eastern , setting the stage for national affiliation deals while preserving some local identity in early operations.

1992–2016: affiliation

In 1992, Southern Cross Broadcasting signed an affiliation agreement with , establishing itself as the primary regional broadcaster for the network's programming in non-metropolitan areas of , southern , the Australian Capital Territory, and Victoria. This partnership followed the aggregation of regional television markets, enabling Southern Cross to 's national schedule while inserting local content such as bulletins and advertisements tailored to regional audiences. The agreement solidified Southern Cross's role in delivering Ten's content to underserved rural and regional viewers, contributing to the network's expanded footprint beyond metropolitan centers. The affiliation period saw significant operational growth, including the launch of services in 2001, aligning with Network Ten's national rollout of broadcasts. This transition improved signal quality and accessibility for regional households, paving the way for the introduction of multichannels in the late and , such as One HD in 2009 and Eleven in 2011, which Southern Cross Ten relayed to its audiences. By the mid-, these expansions had extended coverage to over 1.5 million viewers across the affiliated regions, with revenue streams bolstered by sales representation for Network Ten in non-metropolitan markets. Local insertions remained a key feature, allowing for community-focused programming amid the predominantly national feed. The era was not without challenges, including intensifying ratings competition in the 2000s from other regional affiliates like , which vied for audience share in overlapping markets and influenced national viewership metrics for Network Ten. In 2011, Southern Cross Media Group acquired Austereo Group for approximately $707 million, integrating its radio assets to create synergies between television and audio broadcasting operations, thereby enhancing cross-media advertising opportunities and operational efficiencies. This ownership change, completed through an off-market bid, marked a pivotal shift toward a diversified media portfolio while maintaining the core Ten affiliation.

2016–2021: Nine Network affiliation

In April 2016, amid Network Ten's ongoing financial challenges, including a reported $157 million loss for the ending August 2016, (SCA) signed a five-year affiliation agreement with Co., effective from 1 July 2016, to broadcast Nine's programming in its regional markets of , southern and the Australian Capital Territory, and Victoria. This deal followed Nine's acquisition of a 9.99% stake in SCA earlier that year, sparking speculation about potential merger pursuits between the two companies. The switch replaced SCA's long-standing affiliation with Network Ten, which had been in place for over two decades, and was part of a broader realignment in Australian regional television where Nine ended its partnership with due to disputes over affiliation fees. The integration of Nine's schedule involved SCA adopting the network's flagship programs, including Today for morning news and lifestyle content, for evening bulletins, and for investigative reporting, all aired on SCA's primary channels 5 and 51. Additionally, SCA launched Nine's multichannels, with on channel 52 offering general entertainment and lifestyle programming, and 9Go! on channel 53 focusing on sports and youth-oriented content, while 9Life was delayed until mid-July due to technical setup issues. SCA's stations were rebranded as Southern Cross Nine, incorporating Nine's metropolitan branding and to align with the affiliate's identity, which aimed to provide regional viewers with seamless access to national content. The affiliation shift brought notable business benefits to SCA, as Nine's stronger ratings performance—particularly in prime-time slots—drove a significant uplift in , with SCA's CEO estimating a potential doubling of regional TV ad income in the initial period and reporting a 15% overall revenue increase for its regional television segment in the following year. Under the agreement, SCA paid Nine 50% of its , a higher share than its previous 40% arrangement with Ten, but this was offset by improved commercial returns from Nine's popular lineup. Merger discussions between SCA and Nine persisted into 2018 amid evolving media ownership laws, but no formal proposal advanced due to regulatory scrutiny from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), leading to an extension of the affiliation deal instead. Viewer transitions were generally smooth, but the switchover encountered minor technical hurdles, including temporary unavailability of certain multichannels like 9HD and 9Life for up to six weeks in some areas as SCA upgraded transmission equipment to support the new feeds. Regional audiences adapted to the new lineup, with SCA emphasizing expanded local content integration to maintain relevance, though the primary focus shifted toward Nine's high-rating national programs to boost overall viewership. This period solidified SCA's position as a key regional partner for Nine, enhancing its market stability until the affiliation's conclusion in 2021.

2021–2024: Return to Network 10 affiliation

On 1 July 2021, (SCA) ended its affiliation with the and reverted to broadcasting content in its regional markets of , southern , and Victoria, following the expiration of the previous five-year agreement. This shift was facilitated by a new two-year affiliation deal with , owned by (formerly ViacomCBS) since its acquisition in November 2017. The return aligned SCA's operations with 's revitalized programming strategy post-acquisition, emphasizing cost-effective content production and broader content synergies. The renewed affiliation restored Network 10's core schedule to SCA's regional audiences, including flagship programs such as 10 News First for local and national bulletins and MasterChef Australia as a key entertainment draw. This reversion eliminated the hybrid branding used during the Nine era, allowing full adoption of Network 10's lineup without modifications. Additionally, SCA relaunched Network 10's multichannels—10 Bold (drama-focused), 10 Peach (lifestyle and comedy), and 10 Shake (reality and action), with 10 Shake rebranded as Nickelodeon on 1 August 2023 focusing on children's programming—across its broadcast areas, expanding viewing options for regional households. These channels integrated with Network 10's digital platforms, including streaming tie-ins via Paramount+, which launched in Australia in August 2021 and featured exclusive extensions of linear content like MasterChef episodes. Amid broader industry challenges, SCA pursued cost efficiencies to counter declining linear television viewership and advertising revenue, with TV revenue falling 8.7% to $97.5 million in FY2023 due to an 11.5% drop in national ad spend. Non-revenue expenses decreased by 1.3% despite inflation, supporting a 2.0% reduction in total expenses as SCA streamlined operations. Network 10's refreshed lineup, including refreshed seasons of The Masked Singer and The Bachelor, contributed to modest audience gains in key demographics during 2022–2023, helping SCA achieve a balanced sales-to-ratings ratio in its markets despite overall linear declines. In preparation for potential divestments, SCA announced a strategic cost review in 2023 to cut $12–15 million in annual operating expenses, prioritizing its core radio and businesses over television. Throughout this period, SCA maintained its role as national advertising sales representative for programming across all Australian states and territories, ensuring continued revenue from ad integrations. This arrangement was extended through December 2023, underscoring operational stability ahead of further strategic evaluations.

2024–2025: Sale to Network 10

On 17 December 2024, (SCA) announced an agreement to sell its three aggregated market (3-Agg) television licenses—covering regional , southern /, and regional Victoria—to , a subsidiary of , for an undisclosed sum. As part of the transaction, SCA retained a financial interest through a profit-sharing for the licenses over five years following completion, allowing it to benefit from ongoing operations while divesting ownership. The deal marked a strategic step in SCA's shift away from television, aligning with its broader focus on audio media assets. The sale required regulatory clearances, including approvals from the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) for license transfers and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) to ensure no anti-competitive effects; these conditions were satisfied in early 2025. Completion occurred on 1 March 2025, at which point operational control transferred directly to , integrating the stations into its national broadcast framework without intermediate affiliation arrangements. This handover ended SCA's role as the regional representative for content in these markets, a position it had renewed in 2021 prior to the divestment. Following the Network 10 sale, SCA fully exited the television sector by 1 July 2025, after selling its remaining non-10 affiliated licenses—encompassing , the in , in , in , and remote central and eastern —to for $3.75 million in cash. The transaction, completed on 30 June 2025, generated proceeds that SCA reinvested into its radio and operations as part of the "All About Audio" strategy, emphasizing growth in platforms like LiSTNR and core broadcast radio to enhance long-term earnings. Post-sale, the acquired stations fell under direct ownership and were rebranded to align with the 10 network identity, streamlining programming distribution and operational efficiencies across regional and metropolitan areas. This divestment concluded SCA's nearly three-decade involvement in regional television, allowing to consolidate its footprint and SCA to concentrate exclusively on audio-centric media.

Programming

News and current affairs

Southern Cross Austereo's regional news operations evolved significantly in response to affiliation changes, beginning with in-house productions tied to and shifting toward centralized formats under the before returning to localized updates with . From 2004 to 2017, Southern Cross Austereo aired short local news updates throughout the day across its 17 regional markets, produced from centralized studios in and integrating content from 's national news service. These updates drew on local radio station resources for regional relevance and were broadcast to areas including , , and , maintaining a commitment to regular coverage without full half-hour bulletins in later years. In 2017, following the affiliation switch to the , adopted Regional, launching 15 dedicated local bulletins tailored to its regional audiences. These half-hour programs featured a mix of national content with local inserts, produced centrally in , which initially involved hiring around 80 additional staff to support the expansion. By 2020, however, the service underwent restructuring with job cuts, reflecting broader cost pressures in regional broadcasting and reducing on-site regional staffing. The 2021 return to affiliation prompted to resume short 5- to 10-minute local news updates under the 10 News First branding, filling a five-year gap in in-house regional production after the Nine era. Concurrently, a multi-year agreement with introduced overnight simulcasts of Sky News Regional on channel 56 across 17 markets in Victoria, southern , and , starting in July 2021 and continuing until the network's sale in March 2025. Over this period, Southern Cross Austereo's news operations trended toward efficiency, with staff numbers declining amid industry-wide challenges—from over 80 dedicated roles during the Regional peak—driven by centralization and . Prior to the 2025 sale to , the company shifted emphasis to digital delivery through its LiSTNR app, which incorporated podcasts and on-demand audio content alongside live radio streams.

Network and syndicated content

Southern Cross Austereo's regional Network 10 affiliates broadcast a core schedule of national programming produced by Network 10, featuring prominent primetime entertainment shows such as The Project, a daily panel discussion program airing weeknights at 7:00 PM, Have You Been Paying Attention?, a comedy quiz series that has been a ratings staple since 2012, and Survivor, the Australian adaptation of the reality competition format imported from CBS via Paramount Global. Daytime programming includes long-running soaps like Neighbours, which returned to the main 10 channel in 2023 after a revival by Amazon Freevee but was cancelled for a second time in February 2025, with production ending in July and final episodes airing until December 2025.
