Breakfast

An Australian television industry conference in Sydney has been told that Australia must broaden and expand the delivery of children's TV programs. The 'Australia: You're Watching It' conference heard that Australian broadcasters must also begin screening kids TV outside the traditional children's viewing times, particularly in prime time. One British expert has warned Australia to avoid the problems which have beset children's TV in the UK, and is pressing the ABC to set up not one, but two, dedicated children's channels.

Guests

Nigel Pickard
Children's television producer and president of the British lobby group, Save Kids TV.
