Reason I`m asking is because I`ve had 10 years digital tv transmission experience here in the UK, but there is no tv in Perth (except local news)... all the 24 transmission is done from Sydney (I could get a job at Foxtel but the whole point we`re moving back to Perth is to be near family again). The skills I could use are that I`m good with computers (can learn to use any practically any software), but I`m honestly worried I`ll end up in K-Mart or McDonalds after we get back in June.

Very wrong, lots of local content, 10 are the only ones that do there news from Sydney. My brother is in the business as he is the GM of a station
