MTN (TV station)
MTN, AMN and MDN are television stations that are licensed to, and serve Griffith and the surrounding Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area (MIA). They are owned and operated by WIN Television, the solus commercial television broadcaster in the area.
The analogue signal of MTN was, until its shutdown a primary Nine Network affiliate via WIN Television, and the supplementary AMN station was a primary Seven Network affiliate via ATN Seven Sydney. This twinstick operation was permitted due to the broadcasting authorities considering Griffith and the MIA too small for three television companies but large enough for a single company running two stations. These analogue signals are were shut down on 5 June 2012 as part of the Australian Government's digital switchover.
Prior to 2012, Griffith could on receive the WIN and Prime television digital channels, along with the ABC and SBS channels. In 2010 Win Television started broadcasting Channel 10 and in 2012, after WIN Television upgraded their transmitter for the digital switchover, all the standard digital channels (ABC 1; ABC 2/4; ABC3; ABC News 24; SBS One/SBS HD; SBS Two; SBS 3; Ten; Win; Seven; NITV; ONE; Eleven; 7mate; 7Two; GEM; GO! and Win's advertorial channel GOLD) became available. In 2013 GOLD 2 was added.

Maiden Wine
by: Leonard NimoyTake care, young ladies, and value your wine.
Be watchful of young men in their velvet prime.
Deeply they'll swallow from your finest kegs,
Then swiftly be gone, leaving bitter dregs.
Ahh-ah-ah-ah, bitter dregs.
With smiling words and tender touch,
Man offers little and asks for so much.
He loves in the breathless excitement of night,
Then leaves with your treasure in cold morning light.
