ADS-10 began as ADS-7 on 24 October 1959, before being owned by those affiliated with the Ten Network. On 27 December 1987, ADS-7 and SAS-10 (owned by Seven Network affiliate TVW-7 Perth) switched affiliations, ADS moving to channel 10, SAS moving to channel 7. In July 2007 ADS-10 moved from its original location in Strangways Tce, North Adelaide to a new studio in Hutt Street, Adelaide.
