WIN Television is an Australian television network owned by the WIN Corporation that is based in Wollongong, New South Wales. WIN commenced transmissions on 18 March 1962 as a single Wollongong-only station, and has since expanded to 24 owned-and-operated stations with transmissions covering a larger geographical area of Australia than any other television network except for the Australia Network which broadcasts to 44 countries.
Throughout Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, the Australian Capital Territory, Western Australia and Tasmania, it is a Nine Network affiliate and in South Australia it is a Seven Network affiliate.
The network's name, WIN is a reference to its original Wollongong station WIN-4, itself an acronym of Wollongong Illawarra New South Wales. Through its news division, WIN News, WIN Television broadcasts a half-hour news service to twenty regional markets.

“You want to win him over to your side? Then pretend to be embarrassed in his presence.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“We cannot spare our children the influence of harmful values by turning off the television any more than we can keep them home forever or revamp the world before they get there. Merely keeping them in the dark is no protection and, in fact, can make them vulnerable and immature.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
