Paramount Australia & New Zealand

All the judge has to (and is able to) determine is that the administrators followed correct procedure and that the big from CBS was arguably better than Murdoch/Gordon’s.

What a shame I can’t read it behind a paywall :wink:

Was it written by Murdoch press secretary
journalist Darren Davidson?

Just like CBS will most likely drive viewers to subscriptions to CBS All Access, of which sport may be a major component.

Perhaps but anti-siphoning exists and to make more $$ it makes sense to air big sports on big networks for ad dollars and the boost to the network schedule.

If Fox owned Ten, it’d be like Prime NZ, shitty, little content and an ad for Sky NZ.

Not one employee will vote for that Murdoch and Gordon shit. Vote to sack themselves.

Hopefully this court tbing is wrapped up quickly.

Has the judge made his final decision or was the previous decision earlier today just for one aspect of the case?

This right here is the only reason needed to stop this Murdoch/Gordon shit.

because they have the best commentary team in Australia

What’s worse, Ten might be just a piece of history for Murdoch and Gordon. And probably Australians might saw one day that either WIN (as a national network) or Sky (Fox) Television has taken over all of Ten’s frequencies. Hope not.

because the quality of a commentary team clearly supersedes the importance of media diversity in this country.

Simplistic and myopic analysis yet again. Are you ever able to analyze anything to do with ten in an objective manner?

This is much more important to the fabric of the Australian media than some sports commentary.

The case continues tomorrow I assume with Gordon and Win pushing the case that the CBS involves risks because shareholders get nothing and contest that in court when cbs goes to court to have all shareholdings dissovled and transferred to it.

a quite trivial “benefit” when you consider the mass job losses, cuts in infrastructure and loss of media diversity that would likely come from a Murdoch-Gordon takeover.
