gina, james, lachlan and now foxtel. they all lacked the knowledge that no matter how bad things are for the ten share price, they can always get worse. that said 13.5c is very low. it does seem like a good time to buy now. with turnbull as PM, and his views on media reform, there has to be a pot of gold at some point for media shareholders. ---

[/quote] They’ve promoted the news throughout the BBL. Unlike 2015, there isn’t many Australian shows they could promote as it is dedicated to I’m A Celebrity in the schedule.

Sport needs to be financially viable for Ten, rather then spending big on sports rights that may have no use in it. ---

The usual trite response from you. When does it stop? No they didn’t promote the news. They promoted having big bash stories on the news …not the brand or the identities. And they haven’t promoted jack shit in terms of shows. Nothing for the living room, modern family, NCIS, new eps of returning shows. You are nothing but an apologist. And in terms of sports…go big or go home. They’ve failed in every rights deal. Every single knew expect the big bash. Every sprt they currently have aside from the big bash is a spectacular failure. And if they get some sort of crumby afl deal with no prime time it is also a complete waste. So you really need to stop talking crap. ---

Exactly, indeed ten need to be forced to show more news. And if they merge with any regional player they need to be forced to produce local news for the respective markets. ---

Channel Ten and Foxtel content will screen in Aussie shopping centres, as Multi-Channel Network (MCN) looks to expand in the digital out-of-home (DOOH) sector, [AdNews](http://www.adnews.com.au/news/mcn-enters-digital-out-of-home-fray-bolsters-investment) reports. The group has made an additional investment in its TV-OOH offering, taking its network to 36 large format, full motion 16:9 screens. MCN CEO Anthony Fitzgerald says the screens are part of its strategy to create a unified platform for advertisers to reach the customer journey. “The outdoor media market is one of the most rapidly growing advertising sectors in Australia,” Fitzgerald says. “With MCN investing and innovating in a true television-style OOH network, we can offer advertisers an incredible opportunity to close the loop and extend their message through to the point of purchase.” TV-OOH can be used by advertisers for localised messaging, day parting, augmented reality, social media amplification and live-streaming. ---
