Channel 10 denies broadcast will cease in two more states after Mildura shutdown caused outrage


A recent report has eased fears that fans will lose access to Channel 10 shows in large areas of Tasmania and Western Australia.

Still, TV Tonight said that viewers in the region which takes in Kalgoorlie, Broome, Esperance, and Carnarvon could lose free-to-air access if any one of the partners in the joint ventures decide to bail out of operations in the next few years. Industry lobby group Free TV have proposed a plan that includes less tax, and stronger federal funding for remote markets as well as changes to ownership regulation to ensure the survival of free-to-air in regional areas of Australia 'It's also a reality check for the Federal Government who must listen and act now to update the impending prominence laws to ensure every connected TV in Australian homes today and in the future, has local free to air apps like 10 Play automatically downloaded and easily accessible on screens.'
