UPDATE:8TH OCTOBER 2008

TEN breached code by broadcasting material below or near the threshold of normal awareness during 2007 ARIA Awards

The Australian Communications and Media Authority has found that the Ten Network breached the Commercial Television Industry Code of Practice 2004 (the code) during the broadcast of the 2007 ARIA Music Awards on 28 October 2007 by transmitting images below or near the threshold of normal awareness.

Several complaints were received by ACMA about the inclusion of brief displays of sponsors logos during the nomination segments of the program.

ACMA reviewed the relevant material at slow speed and frame by frame. It found that the rapid-cut graphics used in the program was a technique that attempted to convey information to viewers below or near the threshold of normal awareness, which is a breach of clause 1.8.4 of the code.

ACMA notes the Ten Networks submission that the rapid-cut graphics were intended to be creatively consistent with the fast-paced look and feel of the music presentations. However, the code imposes clear rules regarding the use or involvement of any technique which attempts to convey information to viewers.

In response to the breach findings, Network Ten will: * distribute the investigation report to relevant production staff (both in-house and external) to ensure that future productions of ARIA Awards are consistent with ACMAs view; * not use the same rapid cut use of sponsor logos for the upcoming 2008 ARIA Music Awards; * use the finding as an example in regular code training sessions with staff, to ensure future compliance; and * highlight the code clause in their external production agreements.

ACMA considers this action as proportionate, given that this is the first breach of this kind by the licensee and that the network will not use this technique in the upcoming 2008 ARIA Music Awards.

ACMA forewarns the industry that a future breach will result in significantly heightened compliance measures.

Yeah channel ten got an official warning by the watch dog and they did label it "Subliminal messaging", and Ten had to make an apology. If they do it again (which they most likely won't after the attention they received), Free TV Australia will most likely prosecute them

that's a pretty pathetic consequence : / should've been prosecuted the first time.

yep but that's how our government watch-dogs are in this country. Their position is pointless because they don't have the power, or rather refuse to use their power. Other examples would include the ACCC and the Fuel Watchdog....rediculous!
