Regional TV broadcasters have welcomed the Federal Government’s proposed changes to cross-media ownership laws, particular new local content requirements. Both the "reach rule" and the "two-out-of-three rule" will be abolished if the reforms proceed. However, News Corp Australia’s executive chairman Michael Miller says the reforms should be more extensive, and should include the anti-siphoning list for sports broadcasts. Seven Group CEO Ryan Stokes agrees that the reforms are too limited.
