Before 2004, SES was the only commercial television station broadcasting in Mount Gambier and the southeast of South Australia. The SES studios were located on John Watson Drive, Mount Gambier. RTS was the only commercial television station in the Riverland region of South Australia, with its studio on Murray Bridge Road, Loxton. Both stations broadcast a mixture of programs derived from the Seven Network, Nine Network, and Network Ten. The 2004 introduction of sole Network Ten affiliate, MGS and LRS, was the second commercial television station in the region – [2] following this, SES/RTS became a sole Nine Network affiliate (until September 2007), only sports programs (particularly AFL matches) were acquired from the Seven Network.
At 9:00 a.m. on 15 December 2010, MGS/LRS's analog signal were switched off, along with SES/RTS.
10 News updates bulletins regarding South Australian-specific news are presented by Rebecca Morse at ADS, Ten's Adelaide station, along with the national 10 News breakfast and weekend bulletins.
Between 1 July 2016 and 1 July 2021, WIN entered a new affiliation deal with Network 10. During this time, MGS/LRS programming was branded as "WIN". When WIN returned to their affiliation with the Nine Network, branding was restored as "10".
