TEN Network has slammed key parts of the federal government's planned media industry reforms.
Ten boss Hamish McLennan has criticised the government's push to introduce a public interest test for major media mergers and acquisitions, saying it is unworkable and unnecessary.
He also blasted plans for a parliamentary committee to examine the abolition of the so-called "75 per cent reach" rule, which currently stops metropolitan TV broadcasters taking over smaller regional stations.
"The only possible outcome of ditching the 75 per cent reach rule - in isolation - will be a reduction in media diversity and a further reduction in news services in regional Australia," Mr McLennan said in a statement on Tuesday.
Communications Minister Stephen Conroy earlier outlined a raft of industry reforms, saying the committee would have one day to hear evidence about the reach rule.
The reforms also include a permanent 50 per cent reduction in TV licence fees, as long as local content is increased by an extra 1490 hours by 2015, and plans to overhaul the way complaints against the press are handled.
Mr McLennan said he welcomed the reduction in licence fees.
