Community television is the new kid on the block.
Community television includes free to air services, prospective cable operators and potentially others delivered by satellite, MDS, or new technologies yet to be developed. It provides access and equity to the television medium, enabling the Australian community to participate, learn, create and most importantly, communicate in audio visual media. After one year of operation, community television is producing more Australian content than any other television service per week. It allows the development of new and innovative television ideas to become a valuable product and provides a place to develop skills and talent. Within this time they have developed rapidly despite limited resources and infrastructure.
