Aurora forms content sharing deal with UK channel

Community TV channel Aurora, which this week received a tributary poem from an American who confused the name of the station with the Colorado town were shootings took place last week, has entered a content sharing deal with Community Channel in the UK.

The announcement:

25th July, 2012: In a first for Australia’s leading not-for-profit
subscription community TV Channel – Aurora – has joined forces with the
Community Channel (UK), in a sharing agreement allowing each channel to
screen each other’s content.

Aurora CEO Phyllisse Stanton says: “This is a wonderful opportunity for
Aurora to showcase Australian community content on an international stage.
We are enormously proud to see our very own production, Chatterbox,
available to British audiences on the Community Channel (UK). This is a
terrific partnership with a likeminded organisation that holds similar
values and objectives. In the coming months and years we hope to share
learnings that will help grow our respective channels.”
