Unfortunately, an audit last year found the community channel failed to receive promised initial funding of $650,000 from the previous Government which has had a "major impact on the organisation's capacity to establish itself and it has been working to address that unplanned shortfall since its inception". In 2003 the Government provided Access 31 will further support through a Lotteries Commission grant of $237,000. (2) The amount of advertising each Department or Agency plans to place with Channel 31 over the next six months is yet to be determined. Media plans for each campaign are generally resolved and booked the month prior to campaign commencement. (3) $20,180.00 was spent on media placement with Access 31 through the Government Master Media Agency advertising contracts from 1 March 2004 to 31 August 2004. (4) Yes. Advertising with media outlets is determined in conjunction with each Department's or Agency's media planners. The media planning function is either undertaken in-house, by the Department's or Agency's creative advertising agency or the through the Governments Master Media Agency, campaign advertising contractor. Through this process the optimum choices are made for placement of Government's advertising dollar to achieve the best overall value for money. (5) Total expenditure, as reported by the Master Media Agency contractor, for all media placement with Channel 31 for each financial year since June 2001 is detailed in Attachment One and summarised as follows: 2001/2002 $70,308 2002/2003 $51,424 2003/2004 $ nil 2004/2005 $25,519 (Year-to-date September 2004). Additionally, the total expenditure, as reported by the Master Media Agency contractor, for all media placement with Channel 31 for each financial year preceding July 2001 is as follows: 1997/1998 $ nil 1998/1999 $ nil 1999/2000 $ nil 2000/2001 $ nil [See paper No. ]
