Good news story! Today the ACMA announced the decision to not register revisions the commercial TV industry proposed for the Commercial Television Industry Code of Practice. This means that 800+ additional hours will not open up for alcohol ads to further flood our TVs.
We have some fantastic news for your Friday.
A proposal that would have opened up an additional 800 hours every year for commercial TV networks to run alcohol ads will not go ahead!
