Maybe you noticed the absence, or perhaps you didn't. But at midnight on February 28 in 2017, a Brisbane icon ceased to exist in the form many people knew and loved.



Community television station 31 Digital - better known as Briz 31 - was taken off air.



Many elderly who enjoyed the programs but don't quite have the knowledge or know how to tune in to other online sources could only then rely on the over marketed and advertisement saturated major networks.



The deal to take all the national community stations off air and strip them of broadcasting was made by Malcolm Turnbull. the initial explanation for taking community channels down was to allow the other networks to use the spectrum to test "new technologies".



Now in 2019 we have useless shopping channels that no one wants nor needs.



Let's bring back community television for the community to create wholesome content for the community. From students to local content creators who can create television people want to watch.



Bring back Briz 31 and other community television broadcasters.



I started this petition, because…

My name is Travis Barnes just an average tax payer that wants the government to listen to community rather then make decisions by payouts and shady deals.
