Australia's Ten network announce 24 hour sports station for 2009

Posted by Paul • Tuesday, October 28. 2008 • Category: news
Australia's Ten network has announced that it will launch a 24-hour free-to-air sports station across metropolitan cities in 2009. The station, to be named "ONE", will be available on the network's HD channel 1, replacing the current Ten-HD programming, as well as the network's new standard-definition channel 12.

This is somewhat at odds with the network's committment earlier this year that it would continue to broadcast movies in high-definition, as this will no longer be possible once the new station begins.

From January 1st, 2009, all commercial television stations in Australia will be allowed to broadcast one extra standard-definition digital channel.
