Just to comment on the Market first, Where-ever the market is heading, we are getting there quickly. DTV down under................................................. Queensland to embrace digital television opportunities [ Back to the News \| Back HOME ] M2 PRESSWIRE via NewsEdge Corporation : Digital broadcasting offers the prospect of more State-based television programming for Queensland and the other states, the ABC Managing Director, Brian Johns said today at an ABC Board function in Brisbane. "Like other broadcasters, the ABC will offer programs in High Definition Television (HDTV), with cinema-plus quality pictures and CD-quality sound" , he said. "But at those times of the day when programs are not provided in HDTV, the ABC intends to use the flexibility of digital spectrum to offer more than one channel", Mr Johns said. "This flexibility will make it much easier for States like Queensland to break out of the national network to schedule programs of local relevance" , he said. Of course the ABC's flexible use of this spectrum is subject to Government review to determine the basis on which the ABC will be permitted to provide multi channel services, Mr Johns said. It is also subject to the Government providing adequate funding to meet the capital costs involved, he said. "The ABC is better placed than any other Australian broadcaster to deliver more local and State-based programming because of its extensive presence throughout metropolitan and regional Australia." "That is why we are so excited by the prospect of digital broadcasting - and so committed to taking advantage of the flexibility of the digital pipeline ", Mr Johns said. "Everywhere I go in Australia - the ABC's digital strategy has been welcomed; and I know the support in Queensland has been especially strong. " more.......................... digitaltheater.com
