Do You Remember?

[Innuendo]

WIN = Wollongong Illawarra NSW (not network). The call-sign for all TV stations in NSW had 'N' as the last letter, all stations in Victoria had V, Q for Qld, S for SA, W for WA, & so on.

Again of no real consequence but I got to reading.

The Beginning

Television Wollongong Transmission Limited (TWT), was incorporated on 4 October 1955 by a group of local businessmen. Five years later, it was awarded a licence by the Postmaster-General's Department broadcast to the Illawarra and South Coast regions, over a number of other groups aligned to Sydney-based stations ATN-7 and TCN-9.[3] The new station was to broadcast on the VHF-4 frequency, using the callsign WIN (which stood for Wollongong (and the) Illawarra Network or alternatively Wollongong Illawarra New (South Wales), in line with other Australian callsigns). Soon after, a plot of land was purchased at Fort Drummond, approximately two kilometres south of the Wollongong central business district, for the station's television studios.

Saying the WIN Network would be like saying PIN number. Wollongong Illawarra Network Network or Personal Identifying Number Number.

ATM Machine anyone ?

Just Saying.

I spend 6 months working in the PMG radio branch (as part of my tech training) where all this stuff is licensed, they are so damn pedantic.

Again, Wikipedia is full of errors, it is at best a guide, not to be relied upon.
