Plus we pass comment on recent comments by Foxtel & Hubbl CEO Patrick Delany as he goes hard at the Senate Enquiry (and IRL). | S09E06
The boys are back in town – Rob, Robbo, and Molk are locked and loaded to deliver you another massive podcast. Just be careful what you wish for (in both livestreamed video and audio formats).
We punch out the livestream every Tuesday night in season from 8pm AEDT/7pm AEST/etc., you can watch live on the TV Blackbox Facebook page or YouTube channel. We’d absolutely love it if you joined in – as many keep doing – by commenting on the livestream…which allows us to include a broad sample in the episode to help punctuate our conversation. For those that join us live-thanks for playing along, friends!
Wanna watch how it all went? Here you go:
Here’s the highlights from this week’s episode:
- Meta promise to cuck the commercial News organisations in Australia (including the commercial TV ones) and chuck their news-flavoured toys out of the cot…so is it a big Aussie bye-bye to Facebook, WhatsApp, and Insta?;
- Seven attempt to take the moral high ground with regard to sports streaming rights and…the cynics are circling;
- Changes to categories and judging for the 2024 Logie Awards prompt the question: “Is it too little, too late?”;
- Unmade‘s Tim Burrowes had a great chat with Foxtel & Hubbl CEO Patrick Delany and we have thoughts; and
- Warner Bros Discovery shuts down almost the entire New Zealand newsroom of Newshub, which means the land of the long white cloud media cloud just got real dark…and we ponder the impact for Australia.
Then, as always, we round out the night with another TV BINGEBOX segment, bursting at the seams (upmolks and downmolks a-plenty).
This is another edition of the TV BLACKBOX Podcast (my TV podcast’s breath smells like uh-oh).
