Something is seriously wrong with the @ABCTV right now- just when we need @checkouttv on our screens more than ever. #thecheckout was informative and brought consumer issues to the fore. It’s appeal reached all generations
So much for “hiatus”…. Now @ABCTV is also banning personnel from #thecheckout from a new consumer show … quite the F.U. for the talented, hard-working folks who worked on the Tube. Working on the only consumer show on TV for 6 series disqualifies you from consumer show ???pic.twitter.com/DdaH9VJqMW

The downside of ABC outsourcing for run of show contracting? By all means try fresh on-air talent but it’s folly to dump the research/production skills which have built high quality investigative consumer journalism.

Pehaps a one term limit for board members and a fixed two year non-extendable term for the MD? That would certainly aid freshness!

This only furthers the theory that
@checkouttv was taken off air not because of the budget but because it pissed off one to many ABC-aligned advertisers - 1 more reply

. . . I'm sorry what? ABC calm down and let The Checkout staff explain Consumer Affairs in funny and informative ways. - . - I seriously feel bad for your staff when they're very informed and passionate about this subject but can't continue with the subject they worked on.

Holding companies to account is too "Socialist Left Wing" for current ABC management . New ABC Checkout consumer show will endorse Banks money laundering for child abusers, coal companies getting massive subsidies to turn Earth into Hell, etc. Straya!

WTF? The Onscreen talent and writing was what made the Checkout so fantastic, to reinvent the wheel with a different show seems pointless frankly when all that skill and talent is already there.

Crowdfund the return of 'The Checkout' and/or take it to a different network. It has plenty of support from viewers still.
