Thanks to all of you who’ve been in touch to point out that last night Media Watch went to town on Ten and Prime’s pathetic excuses for the regional news they’re required to provide under their broadcasting licences.
Being part of the ABC’s taxpayer funded crusade to be the One True Media there is no mention of any news services providing timely coverage of events except the ABC (WIN, 2CC, dare I say it RiotACT could all have been used).
But aside from that it’s a good picking apart of the two broadcasters failure to meet their obligations.
Old news, it is worth noting, rarely upsets potential advertisers.
