Alan Jones Direct To The People

Notice how he’s doing his new show in the exact same slot as he did Sky, 8pm Monday to Thursday.

Almost like it’s a bit of an up yours to Sky.

Online TV show? Are his audience going to be able to find him?

Appears to be fairly new given searching only pulls articles related to the announcement by Jones, I did find that it was registered with ASIC on November 25th.

He keeps talking up his Facebook following; as he did when he was in discussions with Sky News. Claimed they underestimate the numbers. He was talking through the numbers today again. They will be able to watch vis FB and YouTube it seems.

You can watch the announcement on if FB page

Should that be Fully Syk News? Or maybe Sick News?

So should we set up a seperate thread for Alan’s new show?

Or just leave the discussion here in Sky News for the few more weeks that Alan will remain relevant to the media landscape?

This is an interesting (yet not overly surprising) thread.

Is it 1999 again? Completely wrong terminology for what he is actually producing. He’s probably afraid the term ‘video podcast’ would have his target audience scratching their heads. At least ‘digital television’ is just barely understood by them as the whiz bang way to watch the picture wireless these days.

Producers claim there were hundreds of thousands of people tuning in on the website which caused the mishap.

If I told my parents something was on “digital television” they’d think of free to air or Foxtel, like most of us would, I suspect. They wouldn’t make any connection whatsoever that it’s related to social media or streaming. If AJ says his show was on Facebook, they’d understand that. And I’m not telling them about AJ being on Facebook because they’d be half likely to go looking for it :roll_eyes:
