https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hulu Hereā€™s what iā€™m talking about.

174

We know what Hulu is but what is the connection to Seven West Media? As far as we know, there isnā€™t one.

Is Something that the New 7plus is Lacking at the Moment, Fasttracking US Shows which Seven has the Australian RIghts to air broadcasting Online, 7plus App and through Smart TVā€™s First.

176

But if they fast track all their US shows on 7plus, then there is no point in putting any on their FTA channels which will hurt their bottom line.

I donā€™t think they would attract enough advertising yet to be a streaming service for all their US shows and only have Aussie content on their FTA channels.

Seven headquarters in Sydney is to move in with the magazine and production offices at Eveleigh having quit the lease on its Pyrmont headquarters some ten years early. The Australian is reporting that it is cost-cutting exercise and that more cuts are expected.

I take it this move includes Seven Group Holdings (who have majority stake in SWM), run by Kerry Stokesā€™ son Ryan.

They are also located there.

Prime Mediaā€™s HQ (admin) is also there, anyone know if itā€™s in the same building?

Jones Bay Wharf (Pyrmont):
Classification, programming, rights and acquisitions, sport admin, legal and executive management (as well as other departments like HR, finance, etc).

Promotions done at Martin Place.

Broadcast and sport operations at Docklands in Melbourne.

Production, Yahoo7 & Pacific Magazines at Eveleigh (the Technology Park) in Sydney.

Other production at Docklands, as well as Global TV.

ASX registered office: Perth

I think that is wise, it looks ridiculously big, I wonder if every space was used?

On the water front, wouldnā€™t come cheap.

Iā€™m sure network execs will be sad to see their Harbour view disappear :wink:

182

I wonder if Seven will think of moving out if Martin Place?
