TV and Radio

Entertainment in Nhulunbuy is something to be desired. Yes you can get out to a beach and find someone to have a BBQ with, but for those of us who are a little lazy and want to just sit down and relax after work there is little to satisfy.

Currently the only free to air channels available in town are ABC, Imparja and Seven. There is a lot we are missing out on. I noticed that there is a big campaign on free to air TV at the moment called Freeview. I was wondering if anyone knew if it is going to effect Gove? Maybe an upgrade to an all channel digital TV broadcast tower?

Also we need more radio stations. Gove FM is great and the presenters do a fantastic job, but sometimes the music they play is something to be desired. I usually end up switching over to ABC radionational. The only other options seem to be a 24 hour race betting station and the christian rock station.
I would love to see other stations start broadcasting here. Maybe the youth channels like Triple J would consider it if there is enough interest.

Post your thoughts here and if we get enough interest then we might be able to campaign for the change.
