Local MP calls to reinstate Ten and Switch on Sky in Mildura if Commercial Broadcast Tax is repealed

The joint-owners of Mildura Digital Television Pty Ltd should switch the 10, 10Bold and 10Peach signals back on and activate Sky News Regional in Mildura if the Commercial Broadcast Tax is repealed, Member for Mallee Dr Anne Webster has said.

Mildura residents are the first in Australia to switch off a digital TV signal, in Ten and its affiliates Bold and Peach, and Mildura residents are the largest regional centre in the nation without Sky News Regional.

WIN and SevenWest said before 30 June they were switching off the signal due to the disproportionate regional impost of the Commercial Broadcasting Tax (CBT), and I challenge WIN’s CEO Andrew Lancaster to commit to reinstating 10 services and putting Sky News Regional on in Mildura if the Federal Government abolishes the Broadcasting Tax Dr Webster said.
