If you watch ten giving news.com.au first scoop look at the amazing race, it was just a trailer ! news.com.au then makes it national as news
sure, if you want to build on that by hosting more pr local events, its fine but thats very costly and wonât beat a good trailer on news.com.au
Please stop. Heâs already dead.

I think cutting Melbournes publicity department was a bad move. I canât see this lasting long term.

Especially since Seven still has the AFL rights and has several AFL-related shows on the schedule.

What if they choose to ignore it? Then what do you do?
Sevens still got afl, cricket, news to promote its shows, even if news.com.au does ignore.
And Facebook !!!

The Australian is reporting industry talk that James Warburton at Seven West Media may be looking to takeover Prime Media Group. The two major shareholders in Prime are Bruce Gordon who apparently still has around 19% via various means, and Spheria Asset Management with just under 15%.
It is also rumoured, according to The Australian, that Seven West is trying to sell its magazine business, however it is apparently not worth very much and would be sold for a ânominal sumâ if someone like Bauer Media is interested.

Holy crap, this is terrible. just saw this reply from Knoxy (comments were in a thread on TVT regarding the publicity retrenchment)
I donât see really see Seven West Media selling Pacific Magazines. Bauer would have accc concerns.
Pacific magazines have added more magazines, and the only other interested buyer would be news corp, which actually did sell its titles to bauer !

Well, isnât that a precedent? The magazine industry Iâd dying. If itâs a case of selling them and keeping them going or shutting them down, then anyone would agree to a sale.
And what was the old Southdown Press owned by News Corp is now Pacific magazines. I think it would be unlikely that News would buy their old magazines back.

AFL game day is filmed from the HSV-7 studios in Melbourne. Sad to see 7 moving all their production to Sydney

The Front Bar is filmed at HSV7 studios too. Will it have to move to Sydney as well?
