I questioned how this venture worked ages ago. There was just no way the capital expenditure was coming close to the income. And the fact that Ahron no longer comes on here spruiking or defending his wares is telling.
No it’s not?
He’s out there running a business and hosting programs, he doesn’t owe some faceless accounts on a media theory website anything to defend his decisions when there’s nothing but negativity and ill will towards this venture.

Just noticed two of the more long term staff have gone. Brittany and Will.

He used to be on here all the time telling all these faceless accounts about everything that was happening.
Scrutiny isn’t necessarily ill-will.

Seems the only ones left (at least presenting regularly) are Ahron Young, Veronica Dudo and Chris Judd

Ticker is now running 3 FAST channels (essentially just a playlist of pre-recorded programs as far as I can tell)
- Ticker Originals Channel
- Ticker Finance Channel
- Ticker Insight Channel
They’re claiming 3.2 million monthly viewers

Happens to be their fourth birthday today as well
I wouldn’t be surprised if they had more stuff when they started than they do now, really seems to be only skeleton staff these days

You only have to have half a brain to figure out that these numbers they say they get aren’t true neither realistic. They have social followings still sitting in the small thousands. They are simply on more streaming platforms like fetch that have the ABILITY to reach the “3 million” they say they get.

Pretty much. All staff have moved onto better things. You only have to do some research via linked in.

Thought it was going to say they announce they’re closing. Still fighting!

Scrambling. Another pivot.
Trying to be something to everyone doesn’t work. A NY1 format could have worked really well with a hyperlocal focus on Melbourne and Victoria. Seven, Nine and the ABC are trapped in a Sydney centric news cycle and the Age and Hun are pretty woeful and neither treat their audiences like adults. It would have been great to have a proper local channel that’s aimed at millennials and younger with a middle editorial position.

Barely any differences to what they’re already doing except just a slight readjustment of the times
Wonder if the program formats will change (currently 12 minute interviews/segments)
Also looks like Chris Judd’s show has been axed?
