I mean - more people get news online now than on TV. It’s not a bad space to be in. Online video news like this does pay.

Paramount / 10 possibly still owns the social channels - and Roving is prob doing the content. Maybe they split revenue / operating costs?
It’s my understanding Roving owns it all and is operating it independently.

I think it was said at the time it was on air that it had a huge online following so it would be making some sort of revenue.
The High Court has dismissed former Liberal staffer Bruce Lehrmann’s bid to challenge the outcome of his failed defamation case.
The Federal Court had ruled that on the balance of probabilities, Mr Lehrmann did rape Brittany Higgins at Parliament House in 2019.
Mr Lehrmann last year lost an appeal against the finding.
The High Court was his last legal avenue to challenge the outcome.

Just in retrospect though??
Lisa Wilkinson, remember her? Despite the fact that the former Cleo editor and breakfast TV doyenne hasn’t been on television consistently for a few years, she is still, believe it or not, locked in dispute with Network 10 over legal fees.
Those are the fees Wilkinson incurred defending Bruce Lehrmann’s disastrous defamation proceedings after her Logie-winning interview with Brittany Higgins on Ten’s The Project in 2021.
Ten was ordered to pay Wilkinson $1.15 million for her legal costs more than 15 months ago. But, On Background has learned, the station is yet to pay out the full costs, which has led to further protracted litigation. Just days ago, the parties finally settled on payment of the first tranche of legal fees, relating to the cross-claim Wilkinson lodged against Ten in 2023 over the payment of $700,000 in legal costs in the defamation case.
