Last days for Community TV in Victoria
There are only a few days of broadcasting left for Melbourne and Geelong’s community TV station Channel 31, despite the announcement this week that Adelaide’s Channel 44 will get a 12 month licence extension. Email the ministers and MPs and let them know it’s #notfair !
PETITION – Ongoing licence for community television
JOIN THE PETITION asking Victoria’s Minister for Creative Industries and the Minister for Multicultural Affairs to intervene in the federal decision not to renew Channel 31’s broadcasting licence beyond 30 June 2020.

Channel 31 is due to be axed at the end of June, but we can see no reason why we would scrap a local television service that is still being used and enjoyed, that is sustaining itself, and is so obviously needed and valued by the community.
