Annual General Meeting held

The Annual General Meeting of Northern Access Television was held yesterday afternoon. Many issues were discussed regarding the running of the group, and on most issues, all in attendance were able to agree on future directions for the group.

Most of the Committee Members from the Previous Committee are continuing, and we have a couple of new Committee Members. Details of the 2009/10 Committee will be posted here shortly (and the Management Page updated). Reports from the AGM will be included in the next Northern Focus newsletter.

Story about C31 on ABC Stateline

A story on C31's current fight for a licence was aired on ABC1's "Stateline" in Victoria on 14th August 2009. See the video below.

2009 NAT AGM

The 2009 Northern Access Television AGM will be held on Sunday 20th September 2009 at 2pm at the Noise Bar, 291 Albert St, Brunswick.
All members of NAT, as well as anyone interested in joining the group are urged to attend.
The formal notice and nomination forms for the Committee will be sent out shortly to paid members.

Visions on the way back

As viewers may have noticed, Visions has been off air for various reasons, but we are happy to report that the show will be making it's way back with new episodes in September. A number of Northern Access TV members will be pulling together to help Producer, Judy Magassy put the show back into production.

Fair Go Kev - Give us Digital now!

C31 still remains the only TV channel in Melbourne to not be allocated a Digital Licence. People who are buying the new Set Top Boxes and Digital TVs are finding that they can not pick up our Analog signal. Every new Digital viewer is often lost to us.

To continue to develop our station and our member groups, we need access to Digital TV.

All NAT programs are ready to shoot in Digital Widescreen format. All we are waiting for is the ability to broadcast a Digital signal. Help us catch up to modern standards. See http://www.c31.org.au/digital to find out how you can help.
