About WTV Perth
WTV Perth, also known as West TV, was a free-to-air community television station that began broadcasting in standard-definition digital format on logical channel 44 in Perth, Western Australia at 10 am on 10 April 2010. It was a not-for-profit, member-based television production service that successfully grew and now broadcasts a wide range of both local and international programs made with the community, for the community.
However, on 20 February 2020, the station announced it was forced to cease broadcasting on free-to-air television due to financial difficulties. However, the station will continue to engage with viewers and the community through social media and YouTube. A GoFundMe campaign was also launched to try and raise $30,000 for facilities, equipment, and administration costs.
