and Media Authority (ACMA).
Notes: For the purposes of compliance, Australian
official co-productions and New Zealand programs are recognised equally
with Australian programs. See Programming: Regulation.
1. Defined as a subscription broadcasting service devoted predominantly
to drama programs (i.e. where more than 50 per cent of programming consists
of drama programs). See table below for a list of these services and
their providers.
2. 10 per cent of total program expenditure plus shortfall from previous
year.
3. Shortfall to be made up does not equal the difference between the
expenditure requirement and aggregate drama expenditure as some services
spent more than 10 per cent but their excess cannot be used to offset
the shortfall of other services.
4. Figures for 2003/04 have been amended as per the ACMA 2005/06 compliance
report due to subscription television licensee TARPS World TV Australia
Pty Ltd ceasing operation and failing to provide a return for its drama
channels in 2003/04.
5. This figure has been amended to reflect a revised 2005/06 expenditure
nomination in respect of a pass-through provider channel.
6. Licensees failed to acquit $22,300 of 2006/07 obligation within the
prescribed timeframe.
7. A licensee failed to acquit $40,000 of 2007/08 obligation.
