CAMS TV - AUS-CITY Message Forums

The Consortium of Australian Media Services broadcasting Division for Television ( CAMS TV )will be creating programming for Air on 3 individual Satellite services. They include: ( ALL FREE TO AIR ) AMTV on the GlobeCast platform of OPTUSB3 SCTV on the UBI platform of OPTUSB3 and a new player on UBI OPTUS B3 at which I am not at liberty to talk about at the moment. CAMS TV will also create programming for Terrestrial Free to Air TV Channel 31 Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, and Brisbane. And Channel 68 in Lismore. If anyone here is interested in becoming involved in anyway. Please email camstv@optusnet.com.au or post on this Thread. Note: nothing is set solid at the moment. Just looking at who might be interested. Cheers. Joseph Safi Director - CAMSTV Consortium of Australian Media Services Incorporated. http://www.camstv.tk

No offense, but community tv such as C31 has always looked so POV and lacking any sort of professionalism. I remember C31 (syd) and they were shocking. I guess it was ok for those that didn't have TARBS, and couldn't get anthing in their native language. Also, their English content wasn't any better.

I’m not here to argue about the old things. All I can say is that "CAMS TV" services will be of the highest professional quality. - I wouldn’t have it any other way.

when cams tv will start ? is it soon?

How long does it take on this site before a useful post like this one degenerates into a series of childish ha-ha's and he-he's that have nothing to do with the original post? This used to be a useful forum - its now more a kindergarten..

So when is the Terrestrial Free to Air TV Channel 31 Sydney starting. I thought in the ABA press release (NR 18) dated March 18 2004 that the new Licensee "Television Sydney (TVS) is required to commence its service within a maximum one year from the date of allocation of the licence". That means it should have started by March 18. So now its Apirl and there hasn't even been a Test broadcast. http://www.aba.gov.au/abanews/news_releases/2004/18nr04.htm

Day-to-Day programming will commence within the next 3 months. The delay in broadcast is because TVS requested to the ABA to upgrade the broadcast power from the Broadcast Australia Transmission site in GoreHill, from 5KW to a 20KW transmitter - which will give an ERP of max 850KW, and Hence, matching the existing SBS service. Because of this, the ABA has allocated extra time to get the transmitter in GoreHill ready. Furthermore, there was a legal issue with the old licensee in the beginning which delayed the actual transfer of the licence to TVS.

Analouge

ok just check just test screen is up and its got a very stroung signal hear like channel 7 etc full clear no static like it used to be <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />

yea 20KW / 850 KW ERP from GoreHill ABC Tower... it would be funny if they put a smily face or something on that test screen and took that annoying noise of! , haha

yeh its got the test tone on LOL listen to that for a minute and tell me its not anoyying LOL

hahaha - its been going since 2 am last night, the only change is there was a title on it "test 04" on the top black bar and "NSW" on the bottom black bar, and they stopped the tone for 5 minutes about 1 hour ago.. Lol Its the strongest Community TV signal in Australia at the moment,the closest is Brisbane at 10 KW. but this one doubles that.

When will it start properly and start to show programming?
