Aspire TV was an Australian

Labor government
of the time to broadcast telecourses and other non-commercial content, without any legislative restriction on its use, most Australian broadcasters have utilized the datacasting services for teleshopping instead. For the most part however, the general public has ignored these datacasting teleshopping channels, resulting in their swift discontinuation.

Aspire TV ceased broadcasting in Tasmania and Darwin on 29 August 2015 in order to accommodate for the launch of Racing.com;[3] and in Spencer Gulf, SA and Broken Hill, NSW via SGS/SCN on 1 July 2016.

On the same day, SCA switched its primarily affiliated Ten-affiliated stations to the

9HD on channel 50, 9Gem on channel 52, 9Go! on channel 53, 9Life on channel 54, TBA on channel 55 and Aspire TV on channel 56. As a result, TVSN, which was previously broadcast on channel 54, moved to rival network WIN Television on channel 84.[4]

In Northern NSW, Aspire TV ceased broadcasting via Ten Northern NSW on 31 August 2017, due to WIN Television taking over ownership of

Sky News Regional.[5]

The logo and on-air graphics for Aspire TV were designed by Lucid Edge and Splash Agency respectively.[6][7][8]
