  1. ^ Jump up to:a b c While there are several areas where viewers can receive programmes from more than one licence area, the Central Coast, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast are special cases. Each has dedicated transmitters, on the same tower, for two different regions. Two sets of commercial stations produce dedicated feeds for the Gold Coast.
  2. ^ Jump up to:a b c d e One company has a monopoly in this area, as the Australian Communications and Media Authority believes it cannot support more than one commercial television company, but can support multiple commercial television services.
  3. ^ Jump up to:a b c d e f This rural area was not aggregated during the early nineties, unlike most rural areas. This market is now primarily of historic significance.
  4. ^ Jump up to:a b Transmission is via satellite for remote areas, and via terrestrial broadcast for more developed areas.
