Nine Entertainment Company CEO Hugh Marks has told a parliamentary inquiry into Australia’s film and TV industry that the cost of buying overseas TV programs has risen due to competition from public broadcasters. He said SBS in particular is outbidding commercial networks for international content, and he has questioned the relevance of some of these programs to SBS’s charter. Meanwhile, the Ten Network has urged the Federal Government to abolish content quotas for children’s TV programs.
