GLV pioneered the use of live, "off-air" relays of television programs from stations in [[Melbourne]], including [[GTV (Australian TV station)|GTV-9's]] hugely popular ''[[In Melbourne Tonight]]''. Since the station had no video recording equipment, engineers needed to rely on picking up the original signal at the transmitter site to relay back to the studio. As the sole commercial television station in the region, GLV's program lineup included local output such as news and children's programs, combined with programs selected from Melbourne's commercial stations – the [[Nine Network]], [[Seven Network]] ([[HSV (TV station)|HSV-7]]), and from 1964, [[Network 10]] ([[ATV (Australian TV station)|ATV-0]]).

An affiliation formed between the two stations and [[STV-8]] [[Mildura]] in the 1970s as the Victorian Broadcasting Network, adopting the name of a former statewide radio network and later as Television Centre of Victoria. In 1982, the three stations merged as the Southern Cross TV8 television network, sharing a common stylised flag logo and programming schedule. Seven years later it was renamed the Southern Cross Network.<ref name="atvh-vic" /> STV-8 split from the network in 1990 when the station joined the then-Television Victoria network, as Mildura was not included in the Victorian aggregation plan.<ref name="atvh-vic" /><ref name="caslon-stv">{{cite web|url= http://www.ketupa.net/win2.htm|title= WIN, Gordon and ENT: chronology|access-date= 10 July 2007|author= Bruce Arnold|publisher= Caslon Analytics|url-status= dead|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20070621055454/http://www.ketupa.net/win2.htm|archive-date= 21 June 2007|df= dmy-all}}</ref>
