Broadcasting Services Act 1992

Commercial broadcasting services are broadcasting services:

that provide programs that, when considered in the context of the service being provided, appear to be intended to appeal to the general public; and

that provide programs that:

are able to be received by commonly available equipment; and

are made available free to the general public; and

that are usually funded by advertising revenue; and

that are operated for profit or as part of a profit‑making enterprise; and

that comply with any determinations or clarifications under section 19 in relation to commercial broadcasting services.

For the purposes of the application of subsection (1) to a broadcasting service provided under a licence allocated under section 38C, assume that there is no conditional access system that relates to the broadcasting service.
