WHAT'S
ON THE BOX
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.
