Recent data shows that just 61 per cent of Australian free-to-air TV viewers watch it through an aerial and that that number is going down. Recent data also suggests that watching sport and having a common passion is a great way to enhance social cohesion, something that seems to be lacking in this country. As more and more high- and medium-density housing is built, fewer aerials and ground stations are going up. Why is the government ignoring these figures and leaving those Australians behind to watch sport only via paid streaming services?
