I thought the idea was to avoid hyperlocalism?

Yes it’s a bit hit and miss between local and international news. Is the path to cater for Australian audience’s here and overseas?

I can see why you might give it some coverage - it’s about the leadership of Australia’s largest state (and where a decent overseas business presence is located), but it probably doesn’t need focused coverage if you’re aiming your coverage a wide audience.

Similar to the Melbourne earthquake and riot/protesters a week ago. A mention at the top of the hour is okay on an international service , but having two reporters out on the West Gate Freeway might be over doing it on a local perspective.

Think it’s important to acknowledge that much of this place’s criticism or Ticker has dropped away with their marked shift in content.

The jumpstart stuff was never, ever any good and the new content slate and presenters (even if they skew too young and white) are a marked improvement over the early days. Well done to the team for accepting it wasn’t working and pivoting fast.

They should put some glass on top of that desk, it looks a little unfinished without it. May also help with hand prints too, which are quite visible on the LHS in the pic.

Love ticker’s coverage of Cleo being the only one who can’t pronounce the name of the town Carnarvon accurately, pronouncing it as kun·avon instead of kuh·naa·vn

Stumbled across Ticker randomly yesterday having never heard of it so fascinating to read back through this thread to see how it has developed over the last couple of years with input directly from the man behind it.

The streaming news market internationally is such an interesting one and so largely untapped. We’ve seen CBS find success with CBSN and various local incarnations, and ABC and NBC also enter the streaming news market in the US. In Britain it’s largely untouched - we’ve had the awful GB News launch this year and Murdoch has a channel due next year, but both seem very much linear models in a digital world.

As with many posts here the financing of it is really interesting and just shows there are ways beyond advertising and subscription to make things work. You don’t get 4 year leases on new premises unless you can show your business model is working.

Despite being a regular here for years this being in the “Print and Online” section meant it really passed me by - think perhaps MediaSpy needs to get itself into the digital world and think about how discussion of streamers should be categorised here.

IIRC Ticker was one of a few moved from the ‘TV News & Current Affairs’ section a few months ago since it wasn’t technically on TV

Just saw Turning Point with Bill Shorten, the background behind Ahron is on point and feels very “late night news” and Ahron’s mic sounded perfect, however the lighting and sound for Bill needed some work as the audio volume wasn’t being normalised.

I can see huge potential for this program and I think maybe some couches could make it feel more one on one. Good work Ahron!

Define on TV. Terrestrial from a tower? But then what about satellite news networks? Or cable news networks?

Ticker News is designed to be watched on TV. It’s broadcast in 1080i 50p. Apple TV+ isn’t on terrestrial or satellite either, yet it’s “Apple TV”. No one would argue Netflix doesn’t make TV shows, but they’re not on “TV”. Streaming is just another way to get content onto TV.

If you don’t agree with that, perhaps compare the market value of Netflix to SWM.

Ticker produces more than 12 hours of TV news and current affairs every day. I get that there are lots of new and up and coming streaming news products out there, but Ticker is far from a backyard operation.

And certainly with every distribution conversation we have overseas, the major companies consider us a Multiplatform network with a linear TV channel.

But ho hum.

Thanks for the feedback. Constantly evolving as the market changes.

Really found our sweet spot and see our growth occurring overseas. Can’t wait to announce some of our big TV distribution partners over the next month.
