It's hard trying to keep up with the shenanigans of Neighbours while you are traveling around so I've given you all the links you need to get your daily dose.
There are five main TV channels in Oz as well as plenty of cable or satellite stations to chose from. However, the further from the beaten track you wonder, the more narrow the choice becomes.
The 5 terrestrial TV channels in Australia are listed below but remember some aren’t available the remote areas;
-
SBS
-
ABC
-
Channel 7
-
Channel 9
-
Channel 10
Channel 7, 9 & 10 have all the best/worst American TV such as Seinfield, The Simpsons, Melrosse, Ally McBeal, ER, etc. Australian soaps like Neighbours, Home and Away, etc are backed up by Aussie dramas such as Blue Healers, Water Rats and All Saints. These channels also show lots of sports especially during the summer months.
HOT TIP: Good Australian comedy to watch out for include "The Great Debate", "Good News Week" and "The Back Berner".
SBS and ABC (which is state run) concentrate on documentaries, international news and sports and overseas programs such as UK drama, comedy, European TV, etc
Satellite channels (Foxtel and Optus) also exist with the usual sports, music, movies an comedy channels. The cost varies but is between $10 and $40/month.
