Multichannel Review legislation passed
no
The Multichannel Review was conducted by the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy (DBCDE) to examine whether or not digital multichannels should be required to meet the Australian content and caption requirements of the main channels as analogue television services are progressively switched off.
The legislation means that digital multichannels will not be required to provide the same captioning requirements as on the main channels until 31 December 2012.
