Free TV, which represents the major free-to-air stations including channels Nine, Seven and Ten, has called for the removal of time zone restrictions for commercial free-to-air television broadcasters in its submission to ACMA's inquiry into community safeguards.They say that the restrictions - which mean an 8.30pm start for M-rated shows - are obsolete in the digital age because parents can now use DVDs, parental locks or make their children watch ABC children's shows.
