Television's Future Vision

With our local industry struggling to maintain local training and production as many of our best creators move overseas to richer production fields, the new (at the time of writing in 1996) pay TV industry – according to a recent Communications Law Centre survey – delivers a few percent of Australian programs on its vast range of new channels, which is mainly American and Hollywood–sourced. As the giants fight for control, many new and different voices and program makers are squeezed out, denied access to an outlet, an audience and a market for their work.
