“Aurora doesn’t broadcast on free-to-air it is available via pay-tv”(Andrew’s comment) – What a bloody shame!
I take it Aurora is a community TV station on the FTA frequencies, I offer my heartiest congrats on your decade of operation but it’s tinged with sadness that you won’t get to celebrate an 11th anniversary due to the outright treachery of Malcolm Turnbull’s despicable decision to cut all existing community TV stations off the FTA frequencies as of New Years Eve this year. Last year CTV celebrated 20 years on air and their anniversary “gift” was this dreadful news of the cut-off. You at Aurora, and every other CTV station operator and personnel need to start protesting loud and long to save your sector from the chopping block!

They will be only community TV available in Australia after the others close down.
