The ABC would likely welcome the opportunity to centralize its children’s programming. However, that model would only succeed if the ABC were genuinely willing to adopt a clearly defined, dedicated approach similar to the CBeebies model for ABC Kids. ---

I am quite familiar with the three towers at Knights Hill The BAI guyed mast is fm only, I think it has the old National fm array at the top when they were running the fm’s at 150/40KW and below that the new Fm Array for the new Specs of 120/40KW. The BAI guyed mast used to have the analogue array for ABC / SBS / SCA / Prime at the very top of the mast, but was removed when they installed the replacement DTV array on the 135m self supporting tower. The WiN guyed mast out of the short has the WIN broadcast array at the very top. Bellow that is the Power fm antenna directional to the SW, and directly below that is the i98 / Wave fm antenna directional to the NE. The former 100m high WIN analogue tv tower had the old analogue array for WiN59, and directly below that were the arrays for Power fm and i98 and Wave Fm. Due to the low height of the old WIN tower, WIN analogue tv reception.was the weakest of the Wollongong tv signals into Sydney. Prime, SCA10, ABC and SBS had a much stronger signal coming from the higher tower at the BAI site. Now in the digital era WiN is the strongest signal into Sydney from their guy tower. ---

There’s been a bit of maintenance being done at Mount Alexander this week. Commercial TV has been quite unstable lately and punters are having a whinge. Well duh, it’s the biggest wipeout of a high-power transmitter I can remember, so cut them some slack. Anyway, there’s talk of full commercial TV services not resuming until December… ---

Continuing the discussion from [Broadcast Facilities](https://forums.mediaspy.org/t/broadcast-facilities/4090): Los Angeles based Pacific Television Center was formed in 1983 by Australians to help support Network Ten Australia’s coverage of the Los Angeles 1984 Olympiad. From a single edit bay and studio, it grew into a global transmission hub with pioneering fibre optic circuits linking their facilities in LA, NY and London with customers in Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the UK and Europe. In 2023 it was acquired by TATA Communications. This video celebrates the company’s origins and staff.
