Southern Cross Broadcasting is one of Australia's leading media companies. Over the past decade the company has built one of the most impressive and diverse networks of radio and television operations in Australia. Its interests extend from metropolitan and regional television to metropolitan radio, TV production and distribution and related businesses.

The Tasmanian television advertising market is worth approximately $45 million annually, reaching more than 400,000 people.

Southern Cross Television has program affiliations with both the Seven and Ten networks, enabling it to develop a unique mix of programming tailored for the local market.

Southern Cross Television broadcasts to the entire State and is clearly the market leader, winning all survey weeks during the year. Led by Southern Cross Nightly News, Southern Cross Television is the people's choice in Tasmania. Consistent ratings above 54% ensured an improved revenue market share.

In 2002, the Australian Broadcasting Authority announced that a third commercial television broadcasting licence would be issued for Tasmania. The new service will be developed under a provision in the Broadcasting Services Act which allows a joint venture between existing operators. Southern Cross Television, in partnership with WIN Television, will establish the new service.
