RE: IAAC Day 79 | Welcome to My Saturday Rant?! But..

Great video @Iamraincrystal,
Wow your new workplace looks so nice and clean and fresh! It must be nice to still have a job and be able to move into such a refreshing space to start a new.

Shame about the Tv station closure. Especially after 65yrs! Wow they must have some very interesting history in their archives.

So do you think that the closure has to do with censorship or the govt not wanting to have such a free thinking/speaking network?

We have a community channel in Melbourne C31 that has been running since 1988.
They fought for 6 years to get a digital licence, but the govt didn't want them to have one. Kept saying that there were no digital channels left (but there are hundreds...)- only wnated the right wing mainstream stations to have not just one, but many, but we got one and have had to fight to keep it ever since....

The govt keeps revoking the licence and then every time at the last minute, we get a reprieve, this has happened about 10 times over the past few years.

Can you give me a link to the station please.

Hi! Thanks for stopping by. True, fortunate to still have work in this crisis. For that, I'm grateful.

Well, the network is ABS-CBN. Personally I think there must be more than meets the eye about the franchise renewal denial. Sad for the employees who lost their income. I hope the network finds a way to bounce back.

Yes, very sad for the employees, as I'm sure that there's going to be many not knowing what do do.😢
Such an inconsiderate time to do something like that to people, but I've noticed that things like that are happening everywhere lately and using Corona as the excuse....😡

Thanks for the link. I'm going to look them up now.
