MODERATORS
Because SBS introduced advertising! They didn't move on a whim.
The first midnight movie screening I saw was something that was unbanned in the 90s that David recommended. I thought it was Clockwork Orange or Eraserhead but neither of those are listed as having been banned here. I can't remember what it was if it wasn't either of those.
Interesting. Have you got a source for that? If it was such a principled stance you'd think it'd be something they'd have shared publicly, but all my search results are finding news from today.
Not directly no but I think it was heavily implied at the time.
