      I'm sure SBS was supposed to be commercial free when the license was granted to them.

      They interrupted South Park TWICE for commericals last Monday.

            It was. The Act was amendned in 1991 to allow advertising. But being a public broadcaster there are strict conditions on how the money is spent (i.e programming). As SBS is mostly government-funded, advertising revenue saves taxpayers' money. That's why if the ABC wants more funding I am in favour of introducing advertising - I'd much prefer my taxpayers dollars spent elsewhere.

                We've already had this discussion, my brain thinks faster than my fingers and sometimes I just get it wrong. I do try my best at spelling and grammar ... just for you.

                  Channel 31 would really love to have the footy ... if Ch 7/10 "dumped" games.

                  Poor buggers, they ain't gunna be able to buy much for $35K.

                  If Andrew will only give it to them!!

                    which would destroy any independence the abc still possesses.
                    then again, i think it would be worth trying 15-16 players on field so what would i know

                      .... independence????? The ABC?????
                      If the ABC were "independent", Glasshouse wouldn't have been axed.
                      It's a government controlled TV station.

                          Glasshouse is a great show. It's one of their highest rating shows. If there was advertising $$'s involved, the show wouldn't have gotten axed.

                            "[Demetriou] said that the AFL reserved the right to sanction which stations were sub-licensed to show football."



                            As far as 7 and 10 go...

                            Foxtel's annual $45 million offer for four weekly games was identical to the offer made in partnership with Channel Nine last December. Seven and Ten, which have placed an asking price of $65 million on a four-game package but would accept $60 million, firmly believe Foxtel was paying $60 million as part of the Nine bid.

                                Good result I think. live on a free minor channel is better than 2 houred delayed on minor pay TV channel
                                So far as I know there are no plans to switch community TV, such as C31, from analogue to digital by next year.
