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.
[1] The station produced a wide range of local and part-networked TV programming through its history, most notably the chat show Six Tonight, which aired from 1971 to 1983, eventually also being carried on the Six (BTV6 Ballarat and GMV6 Shepparton) and TV8 (now Southern Cross) Networks across much of Victoria, as well as parts of South Australia and New South Wales.
On-air talent included Arthur Scuffins, Eric Gracie, Val Sarah, Craig Campbell, Peter Gamble, Gary Rice, John Garland, Denis Walter, Glenn Ridge, Rob Gaylard, Glenn Driscoll and Fred Fargher.
GMV-6, one of the first regional television stations in Australia, began transmission from Shepparton on 23 December 1961 (the same launch date as BCV-8 Bendigo), broadcasting from a transmitter at Mount Major.
The 'V' refers to Victoria as is the normal protocol for commercial TV station callsigns, where the third letter indicates the state in which the service is licensed.
By the late 1960s, various low powered relay transmitters began operation in the fringes of the GMV region including GMV-3 Eildon, GMV-8 Jerilderie, GMV-10 Deniliquin and GMV-10 Alexandra (later changed to GMV-11).
WIN Television broadcasts its programming from Nine Network, including their regional signals of Channel 9, 9Gem, 9Go!
VTV simulcasts the nightly and weekday afternoon Melbourne editions of Nine News from GTV 9, along with the national bulletins and current affairs programs from TCN 9 in Sydney and STW 9 in Perth.
