SGS and SCN are regional television broadcasters in Australia, catering to the Spencer Gulf region of South Australia and the Broken Hill district in New South Wales. These stations are owned by Seven West Media and operate out of Port Pirie, with additional offices located in Broken Hill, Port Augusta, Whyalla, and Port Lincoln. The studios and playout operations are situated in Canberra.

Prior to 2004, GTS/BKN was the exclusive commercial regional broadcaster serving these locations, providing a mix of programming sourced from the three major metropolitan networks—Seven, Nine, and Ten. After aggregation in the 1980s, GTS/BKN maintained this selective content strategy but increasingly prioritized Seven's programming following 2000, reflecting its ownership by Southern Cross Television, a Seven affiliate. In 2003, Spencer Gulf Telecasters obtained a second broadcasting licence for the area and launched SGS/SCN in January 2004 as a Ten-affiliated station under the brand 10.

On 11 January 2011, SGS/SCN expanded its offerings by adding Eleven, Ten’s standard definition multichannel, which was later renamed 10 Peach in 2018 and subsequently rebranded as 10 Peach Comedy in 2024.

The purchase of SGS/SCN, along with its affiliated stations and Southern Cross Austereo’s Seven-affiliated regional outlets, by Seven West Media was finalized in July 2025.

Programming

As a regional partner of Ten, SGS/SCN broadcasts national programming from TEN Sydney while also airing local 10 News content produced by ADS Adelaide.

News

Since GTS/BKN delivers the primary Nightly News for South Australia, SGS/SCN opts to simulcast the 10 News bulletins from Adelaide rather than creating an independent local news service.
