Ticker News

We haven’t used it for our current studio 2 as the space is a bit small. The jib will replace the slider in studio 1.

Hi newsanddata welcome to MS. Good to see this is your first post. We haven’t engaged with Neilson as we don’t consider ourselves to be an Australia centric news site. Most of our views are from overseas. I think Australia is about 25% of our audience.

I’m intrigued by the Foxtel Now logo - is this a reflection that your app is available on their box device?

Yes you can download the Ticker Android App on the Foxtel Now box. It’s how we power them around our office.

Here’s a link to the motorised slider we used to use if you’re looking to purchase one. They’re pretty good!

What time of the day does news content actually air on Ticker?

Every time I’ve tuned in it’s infomercials or Today Extra- esq segments.

We are live 7am to 9.30pm AEST . First half hour of every hour is live news. Back half hours play Ticker Originals shows. They are shows like Ticker Crypto, Ticker Money, Ticker Business, etc.

Okay but whatever was just on then wasn’t news.

What market is this directed at? The website and app show no news. Nintendo rubbish, Star Wars etc?

Trending on Ticker section: all but one article is 3 days old and barely scrapes as news.

I don’t get it.

I’m not attacking you Ahron, I’m just trying to understand the product and what it’s meant to be.

Ticker covers breaking news, business, tech and media news. So a story about Nintendo losing 119.75 billion yen is a solid story for us.

Ticker’s audience is urban professionals. We don’t cover local news.

Okay. Fair enough. Sounds like it isn’t for me. Thanks for your honesty! Good luck with it. :blush:

I’d rather be a good shot of whisky than everyone’s cup of tea. The great thing about media today is there’s so much for everyone. I saw a niche and we are targeting our content towards it.

Have you thought of getting onto linear IPTV platforms like Samsung TV, Plex Live Channels, LG TV? They seem to be growing channels every day.
