  • The Plight of ABC Produced Programs and Staff and Can Be Found at Plight-Of-Abc-Produced-Programs-And-Staff
    Re: Recent ABC programming decisions From: Ken McKay Tuesday August 30th, 2011 Please find here the contents of a web page I have uploaded to the watvhistory.com web site. It is titled The plight of ABC produced programs and staff and can be found at http://watvhistory.com/2011/08/the- plight-of-abc-produced-programs-and-staff/ Because the site deals with WA television history matters, the emphasis given to the story is that of change, and the impact it has. Most of the content relates directly to the issues the Senate Hearing will be considering... The plight of ABC produced programs and staff POSTED BY KEN ON AUGUST - 29 - 2011 This is an examination of current issues facing the ABC. Fulfilling the ABC charter, program cuts, outsourcing, centralisation, technological change and job losses. As to be expected, there are a number of points of view, which this article will endeavour to report accurately in a fair and balanced manner. They are very contentious issues, which have been evolving over many years as broadcasting facilities, techniques and management styles change, from the previous bureaucratic, slow moving public service structure to one more aware of modern business philosophies, and capable of great innovation. The earlier days were more labour intensive when Perth was an isolated outpost, separated from the rest of the country by not only distance and poor roads, but also primitive communications. The history of change gave witness to a variety of predicaments as our ancestors approached the industrial age. Change manifests itself in different forms over time, and even though the circumstances vary, there is still an impact as people try to cope with a new age.

Since the early 50’s of the last century it was very much involved in exercises and training with the United States Air Force following the Agreements that Spain signed with the United States in 1953. That is why when Spain joined NATO in 1982 the Spanish Air Force was already somewhat familiar with NATO doctrine and procedures. In the following years, cooperation with NATO was increased dramatically through exercises and, when necessary, in operations. The Spanish Air Force is now ready and well prepared to contribute to the common defence of NATO nations and to participate in NATO led operations whenever the Spanish government decides to do so.
