... but its demise is bad news for all legacy media. Also: Bluey meets The Doctor? Brisbane ABC staff no longer national? Is publishing old photos a good idea?
Sadly, I too am watching less FTA TV, mostly because with the advent of streaming services, the quality of programs has gone downhill. I remember loving the 'Sunday' program on 9 with Jim Waley, when 60 Minutes was presented by exceptional journalists, people you trusted. When Foreign Correspondent featured light-hearted stories from around the globe, and not the more depressing and sensationalist stories that we already find on our local news bulletin. When the ABC axed The Drum, a unique program that featured experts in their field, who weren't celebrities, I knew it was a downhill slide. It makes me sad that young people, or anyone for that matter, no longer has access to good quality journalism and tv programs.

Just turned 60, I do not watch FTA and have not for about 10 years. It's not just the under 30s turning away.
