Fantastic for a low budget community station

It’s a bit too retro for my liking. Makes it feel like an oldies station.

Very fresh. Nice touch to use the rectangular part of the logo as a design element.

Any Melbournians having issues with C31 this morning?
Turned it on around 7.30, TV says no signal, connection/antenna fine, all other channels normal.

It’s working fine for me.

First time I’ve noticed a classification advisory on C31 (at 1:24) - note too the (incorrect) PG classification icon in the PRG

These have been around since 2012 and were created in-house at the time. They obviously have t updated them since

C31 airing paid programming Key of David now at midday, didn’t know they were permitted to do this? I thought only sponsorship announcements?

Anything not produced by a charity or the station is sold airtime.

I think it’s allowed but there are limits as to many consecutive hours of paid programming they can do. It’s what brought down Renaissance TV which was 8 hours a day and basically an ad for a chain of retirement villages :wink:

Community TV’s shutdown date is June this year - I wonder if we will get another extension or if that is it.

let’s hope so, C31, WTV and 44 Adelaide are all struggling to make the transition to online. Basic 1990s websites, buffering live streaming are a couple of problems they are encountering at the moment. They haven’t recovered from when their previous streaming hosts got taken over by another company who didn’t want community television as a customer.
