It was originally two individual stations serving different regions. SES-8 commenced transmissions on
March 25 ,1966 serving Mount Gambier and south-east South Australia. RTS-5a began onNovember 26 ,1976 servingLoxton ,Renmark and the Riverland.In 1999,
WIN Television acquired SES and RTS and integrated them into theWIN Television network.Prior to 2004, SES/RTS was the only commercial
television station broadcasting in Mount Gambier and the south east of South Australia. The station broadcast a mixture of programs derived from theSeven Network ,Nine Network andNetwork Ten . However in 2004,WIN Television introduced a soleNetwork Ten affiliate,WIN Ten (MGS/LRS ), becoming the second commercial television station in the region. Following this, SES/RTS became a soleNine Network affiliate, only sport programs (particularly AFL matches) being acquired from theSeven Network .In September 2007, WIN Television announced plans to convert the station into a sole
Seven Network WIN SA affiliate, due to a disagreement with the Nine Network's owner,PBL Media , over affiliation advertising revenue. [ cite web | url=http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,22364267-7582,00.html
