Penrith. TV head calls it a day

Laurie Paton, CEO, of Sydney's community channel, TVS, steps down from the position at the end of the week, after six years at the helm of the station based at the University of Western Sydney, at Penrith. “Now that the federal government has guaranteed the future of community TV in a multi-channel digital world, it is imperative that the sector lives up to its promise by screening high quality watchable locally made programs", he said. Volunteers and not-for-profit organisations create most of the programs screened on TVS.
