Nine probably don’t give a rats, but I hope IF (and it’s a big if) they do a deal with WIN, they ask that SNOW be replaced with some of Nine’s other multichannels.
this is from media week:
sca;s grant Blackley:Radio is the major source of revenue at SCA, with $173.3m in H1 FY21 compared to $84.9m from TV. Losing the Nine signal for 10’s channels would put further pressure on those SCA TV dollars.
When asked by Mediaweek last week if SCA might have to continue negotiations with a new CEO at Nine, SCA CEO Blackley said, “No, it is something we should be able to do before that happens.”
Both WIN and SCA don’t want to affiliate with Ten. They both don’t have confidence in their programming or a road to riches.
Nine and Seven’s programming is more family or national focused (IE - someone in both Sydney and Tamworth would love “The Voice”), while Ten’s programming better resonates with city audiences.
Don’t know about that. I would’ve thought Ten shows like Im a Celebrity, Survivor and The Amazing Race would hold wider appeal to regional audiences. It is shocking to me that a show like The Voice and MAFS that is filled with superficial, self obsessed attention seekers has a wide appeal outside major cities.
I personally would’ve thought that Married At First Sight (and most other shows in the genre like The Bachelor/ette) rates considerably higher in metropolitan Australia than it does in the regions.
Well OK, it’s likely that Newcastle & Wollongong have viewing habits which are reasonably close to the ones Sydneysiders have. But in places like Tamworth and Wagga which are further away from major population centres…
yes and WIN does business with all the networks and the WIN owned Mediahub pushes TV out for more than just WIN. I cant see it changing, even though people at WIN try to convince me otherwise, Bruce and NINE argued alot in the preceeding years of 2016. Alot of dummy spits which led to NINE exploring options in the first place, im not too sure that they want to get back into an arrangement with a network that has lost alot of drive and have been acting like a spoilt kid with the playstation taken away for being naughty. SCA will do whatever it takes to ensure they stay in the agreement with NINE. All that has happened is that the exclusive negiotiation period has passed, so NINE are taking to WIN. I cant see NINE throwing away a relationship with a like minded company with interests in both Radio and TV, Imagine SCA dropping all of the NINE radio content (RAY Hadley and others) if NINE goes with WIN… massive cost their as well.
It’s probably stems from when John Laws was on 2UE. A lot of broadcast operations stations used to take John Laws but stopped taking it so some community stations started taking John Laws as there was still a lot of interest from the community.
When I was younger during my university holidays I used to be a panel operator for the local community radio station who used to take Laws.
It was annoying as we had to chop laws short when he was doing live commercial reads as we were limited to only having 5 minutes of ads in an hour.
I believe when Laws retired they took Hadley in he’s place.
Hay is in the licence area of and receives 2RG (Triple M Griffith) so strange that it can be heard on both community radio (in crystal clear FM) or on the local commercial station in glorious AM mono.
