有报道联邦政府可能在下周宣布在明年的财政预算中，专门拨款两千万用来设立一个免费的全日制的少儿频道。这个主意是在去年4月陆克文号召的全澳精英峰会上首先提出的。
如果政府开支委员为认可这一提议后，新频道可能在ABC3台播出，同时频道内不含广告，半数以上的时间播放的是澳洲产的动画片。
Children's channel lights up on the budget radar

A DEDICATED free-to-air children's television channel could be recommended by the Federal Government next week.
Funding for the station, once estimated to cost $20 million a year, could be included in the budget next month. Sources say that it would probably be broadcast on ABC3.
The channel was recommended at last year's 2020 summit and formally adopted by the Rudd Government, although a final report in response to the hundreds of recommendations from the summit was never published because of the rapidly changing economic climate.
The Government has sat on the summit report since Christmas but may publish it next week to coincide with the first anniversary of the April 19-20 summit, at which 1000 of the nation's best and brightest gathered to generate ideas.
Other proposals understood to have been adopted include a community corps in which young people could trade community service for a discount on their university HECS debts.
A feasibility study into a national cultural centre for indigenous Australians may also be considered.
The summit recommended that Australia become a republic, but the Government is expected to issue its standard response on the subject, that change is not a priority. In London two weeks ago Mr Rudd said Australia "will" become a republic but it was a low-order issue for his Government.
A Labor source said the Government was keen to increase funding for the ABC in this budget. The ABC has been lobbying for more funds in its next three-year agreement.
All budget measures, including the children's channel, will have to pass the expenditure review committee, but the Labor source said it would find the channel hard to reject if it were unveiled as part of the 2020 summit response.
The Howard government had promised a children's channel during the 2007 election campaign, but Labor cut the item, worth $82 million over four years, from its first budget.
The idea was recommended at the 2020 summit by the working group on creativity headed by the actress Cate Blanchett.
The channel would carry no ads and program more than 50 per cent Australian content. The Government was keen on the concept but backed away from it as the scope of the global financial crisis began to dawn.
Other stations have been lobbying for the children's channel but the ABC is the firm favourite. |
