Labor's proposed prominence framework put under the microscope at Senate inquiry

The battle over the order of content displayed on smart TVs is heating up as Labor’s prominence changes are put under the microscope.

Television executives have gathered in Canberra at a Senate prominence bill inquiry to discuss the proposal to ensure prominence for free-to-air channels.

Foxtel CEO Patrick Delany argues it should be up to customers to determine what comes up on their home screen.

“Any proposal to alter search results and app placement in favour of free-to-air services undermines a customer’s right to choose,” he said.

“Customers spend thousands of dollars on their TV devices – what we want to do is deliver the best experience for the customer.”
