The War Is On

It looks like the battlelines between Unnamed Community Television Production House and Access 31 have been drawn. Our committee refused to sign the 3-year exclusivity contracts and so Access has dropped our programs.

Much frenetic activity in the office right now as we inform all involved parties, like the art galleries whose exhibition openings will now be screened nationally on Foxtel and on Melbourne 31.

Access 31 would like to think that cutting off our access to Perth audiences is going to hurt us, but we're gaining an interstate and national audience instead, and being screened by reputable professional broadcasters, so frankly, it's Access 31 who's lost this round.

Remember, community television: it's television about the community, by the community, and for the community.
