RE: Enemy of Average PART TWO - Australian TV + the Logies (Local Content)


So some people agree with me about our local TV content being an abortion gone wrong but others have said, you know reality TV has a place in society. Hmmmmmm

I just read about the recent media reforms (a little) and I think Senator Stephen Conroy was onto something with getting up the points attributed to Australian content. But I think I have a solution, it's clear Channel Nine, Ten & Seven do not want to make quality Australian drama anymore so be it, let's leave it to SBS and ABC who are making the real decent programs (locally produced and written) and let the other commerical networks off the hook.

By ruling NO Australian content on the three big stations, this would kill off news, current affairs, reality TV (if I don't see another evil villain (who is of another race) on MKR I will be ever so happy) and no more Packed to the Rafters or Winners and most importantly losers.

Channel Seven, Nine & Ten could pay ABC and SBS through advertising income royalties to create new and exciting Australian drama like Redfern Now, East West 101, Miss Fischer's Murder Mysteries, Doctor Blake, Go Back to Where You Come From, Once Upon a time in... and the list goes on, so much quality viewing that would appeal to a more lucid audience than a MKR or the Voice audience who clearly forgot about the contestants after the show.

Poor old Darren Pericval is always doing 2 for 1 gigs, Rachel whatever the blind ones surname is, is about to release another mind numbing coma inducing record and DeBono and who was the winner? Where are they now?

Ricky Martin is already capitalising on the Voice in Australia by prepping a greatest hits to be released. FML Delta back on TV, it almost makes me want to relocate to Iraq from this divine paradise we call Australia.

So Julia G (Ms PM) can I come on board and really shake up these media reforms cause Conroy kinda ruined it a bit for y'all and look it's time to go:

My Kitchen Rules
Big Brother
The Block
The Voice
X Factor
Australia's Got Talent (Just not on Channel 7 or 9)
Masterchef
the new renovation show coming to Seven
Great Bake Off - Coming to Nine
The Biggest Loser

How amazing would that be a world without these reality brain drainers?

Just a thought....

Hey I launch a new BLOG over Easter, FLASHING OFF THE RECORD, it's all music, all the time and hopefully you can join me when I hit the BLOG running over the weekend, the Sunday countdown's will move there, new music previews and more will be found there, it will be fun, so see you then and happy hump day, yeah Friday's a holiday, thank you Jesus or whatever the reason we are off work for.
