I stopped listening to the podcast not long after Ben joined because I didn’t think he was a good fit. The production leaned too far towards the gossip side when respected media industry commentators like Dan Bennett and Stephen Brook moved on. I have no doubt there’s a market for Ben’s gossipy style but it wasn’t what drew me to the media industry Blackbox podcast in the first place.

Agreed, I really liked the podcast at the beginning because of its industry focus but his addition to the lineup made it feel less newsy and left me wondering why he was there to contribute.

I enjoyed Ben on Big Brother as a contestant but had no interest in listening to him once that ended.

Great news. Must have been a disagreement about Live+ revenue. Odd.

I don’t wanna jump on the bandwagon as I didn’t have a huge issue with Ben but i definitely preferred the vibe of the podcast before he joined that said I still listen to it religiously each week it ranks up there with my favourite regular podcasts.

I don’t think anybody has an issue with Ben. He specialises in commenting on the reality stuff and just comes across as a little out of his depth on the more serious matters.

I seldom watch reality and believe it saturating the schedule has contributed to ruining the prime time viewing experience in Australia. Clearly some people love it and the gossip surrounding it and will enjoy Ben’s insight. I don’t.

Rob McKnight says that one of the nightly shows will include a review of that night’s reality television programs. I’m guessing that won’t interest you. I know I will pass on that.

So this is ONE channel which will be live at times? Pricing at $6.95 is a bit steep IMO. There were lots of complaints on here when it was anounced that 10 All Access would cost $9.95! I have no problem choosing which one I consider to be the better value. I don’t have 10 All Access but I do have Amazon Prime Video for $4.95 per month. One channel, maybe $2.95 per month?

Another new addition to the ARR team.

Who is this?

Looked him up and he is another washed up former Big Brother contestant. Just when we thought we were safe with Ben gone.

Random question, but, they’ve said they only need 60,000 subscribers to start making some profits. How easy will it be to get 60,000 subscriptions? Do we think they will get that?

Why do they have to settle for the token gay entertainment reporter? :confused:
I’m getting sick of seeing this happen.

It’s hard to make any type of prediction about the service until details of the programming it’ll offer are announced. Like with any streaming service, the programming will make or break it

Any update @blackbox ?
Is it all going to plan? When do you expect to start rehearsals?

The ARR Show is now on Twitch, which is the streaming platform they are pushing. Ticker doesn’t seem to get a mention in the latest posts.
