this is complete *******s - the real issue for adf is that program budgets are not rising in line with the increased costs of production due to inflation, increased crew wages etc. commissioners and broadcasters are not going to foot that bill so companies are having to find savings in their budgets and are driving a hard bargain with suppliers (like adf). increased virtual production and studio space is also negating the need for as many facilities vehicles. high end productions are largely unaffected but they are a very small portion of the content produced.
