Aussie Made: Entertainment Online & Streaming
Support Aussie Made Entertainment during the COVID-19 shutdown.
Australia's coronavirus-hit entertainment industry has unveiled its Aussie Made campaign calling on broadcast networks to ramp-up homegrown content. And there are simple ways consumers can help local artists too.
It's time to add locally produced music television and film to your list of Australian-made goods and services to support during the COVID-19 shutdown.
The entertainment industry launches their AUSSIE MADE campaign this week to call on television and radio networks and streaming services to play more homegrown content whether new or heritage.
APRA AMCOS ARIA and Screen Producers Australia (SPA) are hoping consumers will also get behind supporting artists songwriters production business and associated employees by requesting more Australian songs on radio and streaming local artists TV series and films during their pandemic hibernation.
