Under the media reforms passed in October, local content in the aggregated markets and Tasmania increased to 900 points per 6 weeks (news accounts for 2 points instead of 1).
I will provide a link to my previous calculations below, but under the new quota and considering a 5-day working week, they will be required by law to produce 30mins per day of local content. Using an example of all local content in that time being news, they would only have to produce 15mins per day of local content. Considering the old 700 points quota, that’s only a marginal increase (24->30; 12->15), a whole THREE more minutes of legislated local news (only if that whole quota is news-only).
