Hi,
I would like to congratulate all concerned for this bird’s eye view into the workings of Senate hearings and etc. This enables a bipartian view and gives the viewers a better and more informed perspective into matters of the day.
The Abc reporting on the 24 hour service however is less so. The selected journalists, seem more intent on giving their views than allowing the public to make our own minds up. As such, It is counter productive and it is to be hoped that the Channel can stay free of their influence.

I have only recently been able to watch you programme. My daughter has just kindly included me in her Foxtel configuration.
I love your Political Channeland really get het up watching Question Time in the House of representatives.
Here are a few of my observations:
What a giggle I have when the Mr Rudd or one of his Ministers speak. The
backbenchers immediately behind him remind me of those Papier Mache Animals that were in vogue a decade or so ago. Some people used to have then sitting in the back window of their cars. As their heads were suspended on a spring when the car was moved the heads kept nodding. Just as do the heads of those backbenchers.
I would love to know if anyone has made this observation!!!!!

It’s not about the stupid logo. Before this channel I would never have had the chance to truly find out what other countries are thinking and at the same time making the puppets obvious.

I think we should be incouraging everyone to have a look at it.

This site doesn’t track DVDs, but I can’t see APAC offering DVDs of anything. Try a religious bookshop in your city for info?

James it has this on it’s website:
“A-PAC is Australia’s Public Affairs Channel and is fully funded by Foxtel and Austar on a not for profit basis and operated by Australian News Channel as a free service for all Australians”

The blurb on this channel when you use the i button on Foxtel says iti s funded by Foxtel/Austar, but if it is going to show Parliament, I’m pretty sure that’s taxpayer funded.

I agree – that logo is truly horrid – no thought at all in that design

Why are all the News channels still 4×3 when the weather channel is 16×9?

We know BBC World and others are 16×9 so why don’t we get them in that format on PayTV in this country?
