Programming
During its time of breakaway broadcasting, WIN HD broadcast a range of programming, with exclusive transmissions on weekday and weekend afternoons, late on Sundays and weeknights, and Saturday nights. Approximately seven hours of exclusive programming was broadcast daily.
Original channel
WIN HD was available exclusively in 1080i high definition from the network's four regional stations RTQ Queensland, WIN Southern New South Wales, VTV Victoria and TVT Tasmania.
Revival channel
On 10 February 2016, WIN announced it would launch its own HD simulcast in the coming months. It was later confirmed the HD simulcast would be titled WIN HD and would launch on 1 March 2016. Four WIN regions were excluded from the 1 March launch date. Griffith, Tasmania, and Eastern South Australia did not receive the channel until 2 March 2016 due to technical issues. In addition, the Regional WA station did not launch the channel until 10 March 2016. With the change in regional affiliation between WIN and Nine Network, from 1 July 2016 WIN HD was changed to a regional affiliate of Ten HD in all WIN markets.
