Vic Televison was a tv station that was operating in the regional Victoria which was onwed by Ent Ltd. Ent Ltd had stations in Tasmaina which was call tvt-6. Ent Ltd had taken over the stations GMV-6 and BTV-6. They purchased STV-8 in Mildura. GMV-6, BTV-6 and STV-8 took on the identity VicTV, providing a single program schedule across all 3 stations.

On 1 January 1992, aggregation of regional television took place in Victoria. VicTV extended transmission to include the areas of Bendigo, Albury and Gippsland. VicTV had entered into a program supply agreement with the Nine Network but maintained localised news services in each of the six regional markets in which it now operated. The official callsigns GMV and BTV were consolidated into a single callsign, VTV (STV-8 being excluded from the area affected by aggregation, kept its own callsign).

In October 1994, ENT Limited sold VicTV to regional network WIN Television which already operated Nine Network affiliate stations in New South Wales, Canberra and Queensland. VicTV adopted the branding WIN Television. Which it has been.
