jchowland Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 Wondering if anyone knows exactly what happened to the auctioning of Channel A and Channel B that was supposed to take place at some stage? I thought that we were going to get another TV network (or two), or at the very least another broadcasting carousel with a couple of channels on it. Is this still due to go ahead? Or has the Government decided to postpone until after the liberalisation of the draconian single channel laws? Or has it sold them off to Nine/Foxtel who have quitely shelved them like everything else? I thought I heard a while back that Foxtel wanted one of the channels so it could sc*** us even more.

I think what happened was there was a Federal Election in November last year, the new Federal Government has greater priorities like how to screw people out of there last dollar, so extra Digital channels have most likely been warehoused for now.
