nope no PM, as the number *147 is an Indonesian number, you should go to their web ite and get their local number to make the toll call.

It was fixed by the time I replied yesterday BTW.

Just read in the on-line version of the Sydney Morning Herald that the Australia Network would cease transmission mid September this year.

Its certainly not on my CTH at the moment but Sky and Euro news are. Channel news Asia also out on CTH but on our IPM.

What a shambles.

Is radio Australia same then Australia network?

And also closed?

In other Asian capitals always could receive it!

96 MHz in Vientiane , and 101,5

In seam reap!

The Australia Network was a great advertisement for Australia .It only takes a few dumb politicians who have never been in the real world to destroy something that was a great incentive to visit or invest in Australia. It will have a negligible difference to the budget deficit which is their reason for axing it.

That's why the Singapore Government fund Channel News Asia they realise the benefits and have said so publicly.

Sad and a bad move. Australia Network has had a very Asian centric outlook in its programming (by far the most of any western channel beaming into Asia) and I think that's what has attracted a lot of local Asian residents to view the channel, not merely Aussie expats. The level of exposure in terms of potential viewing audience would be in the hundreds of millions, many times greater than the 23 million Aussie population.

With no similar news announced by DW TV, the French or Russian stations, it's only a matter of time before their influence takes over where the Australia channel left off - of course one would need to understand those languages though Russia Today is an English language channel and DW is dual language, with mostly the English language version being on offer in Asia (years ago it rotated from 1 hour in German to English and then back to German but now it's either only English or occasionally only German depending on the target audience).
