Mildura Digital Television, which is owned by SevenWest Media and WIN, has shut down the Channel 10 signal in the Sunraysia region because it did 'not make commercial sense' to keep it going.
The Mildura region in Victoria is the first in the nation to lose access to one of the nation's five major free-to-air television channels after the Channel 10 signal was shut down.
But this week, her grandmother noticed that Channel 10 and affiliate channels such as Bold and Peach were not working. Victoria University senior lecturer in screen media Marc C-Scott said a strong, stable internet connection was needed to stream content online. "How can the government make sure that those regional areas are getting the same content and the same viewing experience as Australians in the metro areas?" he said.
"The government's solution was to pass a special law to allow locals to spend around $800 to connect to a satellite service so they could keep watching one network's programs," he said.Federal Communications Minister Michelle Rowlands has been contacted for comment.When Mildura resident Ben Dal Farra was young, he loved television programming so much that he would write pretend guides and schedules.
