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.
Itās working fine for me.
I meant before. Just checked, fixed now.
Great graphics
First time Iāve 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, didnāt 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 itās allowed but there are limits as to many consecutive hours of paid programming they can do. Itās what brought down Renaissance TV which was 8 hours a day and basically an ad for a chain of retirement villages 
Community TVās shutdown date is June this year - I wonder if we will get another extension or if that is it.
letās 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 havenāt recovered from when their previous streaming hosts got taken over by another company who didnāt want community television as a customer.
Maybe if the government had an actual plan in place for the spectrum - a solid transition plan towards DVB-T2 for example - it might make sense to need to free it up. But otherwise, thereās no reason to not let them keep going - indeed they should relax the restrictions and allow them to multichannel if they wish.
Hopefully it stays!
I hope that they get an extension on FTA although I must say the few shows Iāve watched on C31 lately have been online
Seems to be in trouble over at WTV, maybe if they focused on proper community membership and not airing Disney movies and other content that they either canāt afford or arenāt airing quite above board theyād be in a similar position to C31 or Channel 44
Maybe I think we could all let a chip in if we wanted to?
I wonder if C31, C44 and WTV could create an informal alliance/affiliation where they can exchange programming and bid together/equally contribute on new programming that fits their lineup instead of going solo? I guess it would be similar to the early years of metro channel affiliations before common ownership started taking over, like the pre-network affiliation between ATN-7 and GTV-9. But this would be kept at bay to keep each of the channels still individually-owned and local.
