DEPARTMENT OF CONTRACT AND MANAGEMENT SERVICES (1) Whilst not placing "advertisements" on Channel 31, Contract and Management Services (CAMS) does internally produce a half hour magazine style program called "go! west" that often promotes CAMS products and generally airs on Channel 31 every six to eight weeks. Four of these episodes have already aired. (2) CAMS intends to make 10 "go! west" episodes and the remaining six will be made over the next six to 12 months. Currently no plans exist to produce any "advertisements" promoting CAMS products over the next six months. (3)-(5) The Member is advised that Media Decisions, holder of the Government's master media contract for purchasing all media space, including television air time, and which is a Marketforce company, has advised all Government advertisers on several occasions that consideration should be given to using Channel 31. Media Decisions has also been directed by Government to include Channel 31 for consideration in schedules, where appropriate, for all departments and agencies. Departments and agencies under the Minister's control will continue to be reminded to consider using Channel 31.
