NRN

During the mid-1970s, the station was concurrently known as Great Eastland Television, when the partnership shared programming and advertising with NEN-9 Tamworth and DDQ-10 Toowoomba/SDQ-4 Warwick, but they soon reverted to the NRTV brand.

In 1983, NRTV was relayed into the Gold Coast after a lobbying campaign from residents, although they could also watch the commercial television stations from Brisbane.

The Gold Coast facilities didn't contain a newsroom, although relayed local news from the Coffs Harbour studios.

Local content included local news, three hours of live women's variety "Round About", 5 half-hours of live children's variety "Get Set", "Birthdays", and "Razzamataz, with on-air presenter Rhonda Logan" weekly, holiday specials "Summerthon", and a half-hour daily exercise program "Jazzacize".

Southern Cross announced on 25 July 2016, that it would commence broadcasting a New Zealand-based datacast shopping channel, Yesshop via NRN on 1 August 2016 on LCN 54.

On 23 June 2021, WIN announced that it renewed its programme and supply agreement with Paramount Global, the owner of Network Ten since 2020, for NRN.

Unlike other Ten affiliates, as of 2023, NRN does not broadcast Paramount-owned channel 10 Shake, and its successor Nickelodeon Australia.

During this interim period, Southern Cross continued to produce local news updates for NRN until 31 August.

From 1 September 2017, WIN News took over the production of short local updates for NRN, which may run from 30 seconds to two minutes each.

Upon acquiring NRN, WIN has not launched nor produced a local news bulletin for the region, citing changes to media landscape, decline in traditional television viewership, and due to their affiliation with Network 10.
