Affiliation
Southern Cross is affiliated with both the metropolitan Seven Network and Network Ten. This originates from the aggregation of the Tasmanian television market in the early 1990s, with TVT-6 (now WIN Television) holding the Nine Network affiliation. This dual affiliation is shared with Southern Cross' sister station in Darwin (TND-34).
The Tasmanian Digital Television (TDT) service, run as a joint venture with WIN, carries a full Network Ten affiliation, carrying programs from Ten's Melbourne station (ATV-10) with local advertisements. (Due to it being a joint venture, TDT does not take on the Southern Cross Ten branding.) It is expected that Southern Cross will eventually become a full Seven Network affiliate if and when take-up of digital television is considered widespread in the state.

Famous quotes containing the word affiliation:
“Men seem more bound to the wheel of success than women do. That women are trained to get satisfaction from affiliation rather than achievement has tended to keep them from great achievement. But it has also freed them from unreasonable expectations about the satisfactions that professional achievement brings.”
—Phyllis Rose (b. 1942)
“Women will not advance except by joining together in cooperative action.... Unlike other groups, women do not need to set affiliation and strength in opposition one against the other. We can readily integrate the two, search for more and better ways to use affiliation to enhance strength—and strength to enhance affiliation.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
