nobody has to actually watch it! (if they don't want to!) - so they<br>
can easily achieve any target % they have to meet. It's very<br>
different for broadcasters, though.<br>
<br>
Any initiative which will improve and broaden our local content is<br>
welcome. I would like to see some local SciFi, sit-coms, thrillers<br>
etc. instead of a steadily increasing stream of boring soaps!<br>

Cheers,<br>
