Channel 7 programming has resumed in three regional communities in South Australia and NSW after a fresh broadcast deal was struck with WIN Network.

Aerial transmission was switched back on in The Riverland and Mount Gambier in South Australia, and Griffith in NSW, about 5pm AEST on Thursday, delivering free-to-air television to those communities once more.

“The Seven Network and WIN Network have reached a new content agreement which has seen Seven’s channels return to the Riverland, Griffith and Mount Gambier via aerial transmission this afternoon,” the networks said in a joint statement.

“Both Seven and WIN acknowledge the significant impact of free-to-air television in regional communities and the importance of providing news, sport, entertainment, and a voice to regional Australians.
