If 100 people sign up to all 3 services, ViacomCBS can spin it as 300 users
Agree. No different to Foxtel having Foxtel Go and also Binge. A lot of duplicate content across those and a lot of people donât realise Foxtel own Binge.
And the revenue stream for Pluto is different with bulk ad deals and revenue shared across however many channels. The Google TV interface one might have on your smart TV or with a Chromecast is now highlighting Pluto TV as an option for âliveâ linear watching in the U.S. and Amazon Fire TV also does so as well. For Pluto, itâs all about reach.
For 10Play with Network 10 content and Paramount+ for studio content, itâs about the small % you can get as paying fans.
Parent company financial results.
To those saying ViacomCBS has screwed over Channel 5 in the UK and will do the same to 10:
That article seems to be based solely on total people figures? Donât Five also target demos rather than TP?
You donât hear much talk of demos in the UK
Yeah, a much different, and daresay older-skewing market than Australia or the US, and probably due to the BBC influence that doesnât seem to be an issue. But television is very much still king here compared to Australia and the US. Still getting massive audiences, probably because itâs pitch black for half the year.
The upper level of 10âs Sydney HQ is still mostly empty according to Lachlan Kennedyâs Twitter.
CorrectâŚ
Only essential staff are allowed in the building.
Promos (I think), Media Services, Presentation and Master Control.
Network 10 are moving out of their Hurt Street offices in Adelaide into a building on Greenhill Road.

Seems like theyâve just moved in there but I suppose it was 10-15 years now?
15 apparently.
15 years. Back before the News Revolution.
that time has flown, mind you, 15 years is probably not very long in the overall scheme of things
Would love a rundown of what that article goes over - canât view it.
The article talks of âstudio spaceâ where all local programming can be broadcast from.
Hereâs a quote
It will include television broadcasting areas, an open-plan newsroom, studio space and open-plan offices, while an outdoor terrace area with views over the parklands will be used for live news crosses.
What local programming? Youâd think theyâd take the chance to move their local news back to Adelaide given this expensive fit out.
Theyâre also having an open plan newsroom and an exclusive outdoor terrace.
The article says 10âs new Adelaide office/studio will be located in the same building as Bridgestone Australia head office (210 Greenhill Road, Eastwood). The networkâs 60 or so local staff will relocate to the new building in April once final fit-out construction work is completed.
It is similar in arrangement to 10âs Melbourne and Perth studios which are located in an office building.
âWe assigned a local firm, Bell Architecture, to design a new modern station that has everything we currently have at Hutt St and more.â
Hrmmm. Doesnât sound too bad but probably means they need less space overall. Being out of the city, perhaps the rent is cheaper and hopefully it means a reinvestment in new technology which may be a good thingâŚ
Given the dire ratings of their Adelaide news maybe they can use their savings to resurrect a local broadcast. Either that or theyâre just talking nonsense for coverage in the local paper.
