As a follow up to this weeks earlier article on the amount of local content on our TV stations, this was mentioned in the weekly Equity E-Bulleton:

Multi-channelling debate: The debate keeps raging on the licence fee rebate: http://tinyurl.com/ycxjbhf. According to this week’s schedule, the Nine Network’s multi-channel Go! will reach a grand total of 10 minutes of local programming – a locally hosted introduction to Warner Brothers cartoons on Saturday and Sunday morning. This equates to the appalling figure of 0.13 per cent local content.

REALLY? How do they even manage to get something that is 10 minutes on there… or is that 5 x 2 minute news updates or something.

And read it people… this is for an entire week!!!!
