Technicially, Gold Central Victoria is under a different licence area (Maryborough Vic RA1) to that of Hit/Triple M (Bendigo RA1), even though they overlap almost entirely with one another.

Sounds like that one will end up in the courts.

Yes. Gold is not part of the Bendigo licence area so it is not counted.
Maryborough however would end up with:
SCA - TV
WIN - TV
ACM/Prime - Newspaper/TV
Grant - Radio

I’m fairly sure that because the overlap is more than 30% they get treated as though they are the same.

CRA doesn’t agree with you … they have it as “Central Victoria” including Bendigo … Your Domains

hi all, im after a consensus, do we think that now jobkeeper has finished and that in most markets PRIME dont have any news competition, will Prime keep pumping money into the news services or will there be changes, credit to them for being last person standing in the market.
While I certainly don’t wish to see any of the remaining Prime7 Local News services axed, I would’ve thought they’d pull out of the two markets they do have competition in (the North West & North Coast bulletins are up against NBN News) before they pull out of the three, four if you count GWN7 where they’re the only full bulletin in town.

I’m sure this has been discussed previously but haven’t been able to find any posts but is Prime7 branded as 7 on air in Canberra now? I came across the Canberra Prime7 online stream and even though the commercials were from Canberra the on air branding and the watermark weren’t.
Prime7 do not stream directly online. It would be the Seven NSW feed with local advertising specifically for the Canberra region dropped into the stream. The local terrestrial feed in Canberra is still branded on air as Prime7

I didn’t know they were doing this. So Seven are selling ad spots on their 7+ streams for regions outside their own?

And even more bizarre, Prime allows this?

they probably can’t do anything about it.
I think the WIN vs Nine court case over 9Now gave them some inspiration to do that.

Not that i’ve seen, and not something that seems likely to me.
Maybe it was just one of those 7plus ads that run when the stream first starts?

Cookies on your browser or mobile activity might also have some impact on the ads you watch, but not sure for 7plus. (Especially from someone who’s outside the platform’s availability.)

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has approved ACM’s purchase of an additional 5% of Prime from Bruce Gordon. ACM now has a 19.99% holding in Prime.

And ACMA doesn’t agree with you.

… but as we’ve all discovered in another thread, the ACMA swings in the breeze when it comes to decision making
