Spree TV was an Australian free-to-air datacasting television channel mainly carrying paid programming and informercials, launched on 17 September 2013 by Ten Network Holdings and Brand Developers.
[2][3] Though datacasting was intended by the Labor government at the time to broadcast telecourses and other non-commercial content, without any legislative restriction on its use, most Australian broadcasters have utilized the datacasting services for home shopping instead.
For the most part however, the general public has ignored these datacasting informercial channels, resulting in their swift discontinuation.
Aspire TV, a similar channel by content, met this fate a year before on 31 July 2021.
Gecko, a similarly formatted home shopping network, launched in its space on 18 September 2022.
