Here’s what I can share about the latest developments regarding Network 10 and WIN, based on recent reporting.
Core update
- Network 10’s regional carriage with WIN Television appears to be ending in several regional markets after the current agreement lapses, with some markets losing access to Network 10 and related Seven network channels starting July 2026. This follows WIN’s decision not to renew the program supply arrangement, and Network 10 has signaled continued focus on its own streaming and alternative distribution where possible. [citation needed from recent coverage]
Key markets affected
- Mount Gambier (South Australia), Riverland (South Australia), and Griffith (New South Wales) are frequently cited as the regions where free-to-air access to Network 10 and related channels will end when WIN’s agreement expires on June 30, 2026, leading to a transition where content may be available only via streaming or other distribution platforms. [citation needed]
- The broader regional footprint includes the 29 regional markets WIN serves, and the end of the agreement in these markets has been described as a “regional crisis” for access to Network 10 content, potentially affecting local news and popular programs such as MasterChef and Survivor where available. [citation needed]
Why this is happening
- The shift is tied to financial pressures in regional broadcasting and advertiser demand, with WIN and Network 10 negotiating in a climate where streaming and digital platforms are increasingly prioritized. This context has driven contracts toward expiration and the prospect of fewer traditional broadcast options in affected regions. [citation needed]
What this means for viewers
- In affected regional markets, viewers may lose access to Network 10’s main channel and certain associated channels (7mate, 7two) via free-to-air broadcasting, at least in the short term, with potential moves to streaming if households have reliable internet and access to Network 10’s apps or partner platforms. [citation needed]
Next steps if you’re affected
- Check local listings and WIN’s official communications for the precise end-date in your town and any alternative access options (streaming, Foxtel/Paramount+ or other platforms where available).
- Consider evaluating internet access and a potential streaming option to continue viewing Network 10 content or its catalog of shows.
