SGS andSCN areAustralian regional television stations serving theSpencer Gulf ofSouth Australia and theBroken Hill area ofNew South Wales, owned bySeven West Media. The station is based inPort Pirie with satellite offices in Broken Hill,Port Augusta,Whyalla andPort Lincoln, and studio and playout facilities based inCanberra.
Prior to 2004,GTS/BKN were the only regional commercial stations servicing the Spencer Gulf and Broken Hill areas. They broadcast a selection of content, 'cherry-picked' from the three metropolitan networksSeven,Nine andTen. GTS/BKN remained among the few stations that continued to 'cherry-pick' content followingaggregation in the 1980s, though after 2000 it began to favour content from Seven due to its ownership by Seven affiliateSouthern Cross Austereo. In 2003, Spencer Gulf Telecasters won the right to broadcast a second station in the same licence area, and in January 2004, SGS/SCN were launched as a 10-affiliated station, branded as10.
On 11 January 2011, SGS/SCN launched 10's SD multichannel Eleven, which was rebranded as 10 Peach in 2018 and rebranded again as 10 Peach Comedy in 2024.
The sale of SGS/SCN, alongside its sister stations and the Seven-affiliated stations owned bySouthern Cross Austereo, toSeven West Media was finalised in July 2025.[2][3]
SGS/SCN, as part of 10, is the area'sNetwork 10 partner network with the national programming fromTEN Sydney and the local10 News broadcast fromADS Adelaide being aired.
As GTS/BKN provides the mainNightly News bulletin for South Australia, SGS/SCN does not have a local news bulletin. Instead it rebroadcasts the10 News bulletins from Adelaide.
