TVS Funding Dramas

In recent weeks both the Australian and the Sydney Morning Herald have covered the funding issues revolving around TVS - most recently Mark Day from the Australian reported last Thursday 14th December:

"the operators of Sydney community station TVS Channel 31 have warned their service will be switched off December 22 if new funding arrangements cannot be put in place. TVS partners Slice TV and the University of Western Sydney are at loggerheads over funding issues and it is unlikely that new funds can be arranged unless Slice agrees to leave the partnership."

Previous to this Day had reported on the 7th December that Slice TV had been asked to resign stating that; "Slice says it has been kept in the dark by UWS and management, and has no faith in "a future controlled by the current board.""

(Do be warned that both of these articles are also largely about AFL).

Meanwhile we have also been alerted to a recent Sydney Morning Herald article detailing the loss of funding to TVS, however so far we have been unable to source this article, if any one by chance has it or knows the details please email us at saveuwsfinearts [at] hotmail.
