I am so tired of watching Aussie TV channels. No quality material and full of shitty content. For even news- 9news, 7news, ABC all kept going on about Taylor swift all day. No quality news reporting at all. Thanks to YouTube , my go to channel for news now is DW and France 24. European channels are the best in my opinion.

ABC, SBS and Ten are all struggling financially and have been trying to reinvent themselves to survive (which will inevitably alienate some long-term viewers). Nine has a paid streaming service - Stan - which it would rather you subscribe to. I have no idea about Seven. I have literally never watched that channel in my life outside of sport and have always considered it to be absolutely worthless trash.

@Ilandar @yoz Seven is a terrible business that continues to exist primarily because of the political power it provides for Kerry Stokes

Ten is also owned by Paramount now, so basically all it shows are things already on Paramount+.
