BotW: Can Molloy win over Sydneysiders from 700km away?; TikTok boom; Iger re-enters Disney’s Who-niverse

Welcome to Best of the Week, mostly written on Friday afternoon, and completed on a beautiful Saturday at Sisters Beach, Tasmania, after an early morning for the underwhelming England vs USA World Cup match.

SBS has been doing some big numbers in the soccer, particularly via streaming. The metro audience of 439,000 for Argentina-Saudi Arabia was overtaken by the video-on-demand audience of 632,000. I wonder whether the existence of a free stream has attracted the attention of global soccer fans with a VPN.

Today: TikTok’s huge local revenues; A Melburnian for Sydney radio, again; Why the Disney ructions matter; and the Friendly Jordies firebombing.

Happy Small Business Saturday. Today’s writing soundtrack: David Bowie – Divine Symmetry.
