Karl is not happy about Today’s ratings and is jumping on the Optus-bashing bandwagon to try for some social media cred in the hope a few extra ratings box households might tune in tomorrow.

Not good enough… should be all matches. If the AFR is to believed sbs paid $20 million for the rights and Optus paid $8m for the sub license. Not really a decent deal at all. After all the bad press you’d think they’d just give sbs the rights back in a simulcast arrangement. ---
