Aspire TV (Australian TV Channel)
Aspire TV was an Australian advertorial datacasting channel launched on 21 May 2013, owned by Southern Cross Austereo and Brand Developers, as a result of SCA bundling and discounting its television and radio advertising rates. The channel operated a full-time format of mostly US produced paid programming and, to a lesser extent, other paid program content including religious programming. Though datacasting was intended by the Labor government of the time to broadcast telecourses and other non-commercial content, without any legislative restriction on its use, most Australian broadcasters have utilized the datacasting services for teleshopping instead. For the most part however, the general public has ignored these datacasting teleshopping channels, resulting in their swift discontinuation. Aspire TV ceased broadcasting in Tasmania and Darwin on 29 August 2015 in order to accommodate for the launch of Racing.com; and in Spencer Gulf, SA and Broken Hill, NSW via SGS/SCN on 1 ...
