BOTW: SXSW finds a new home in Sydney; The verdict on Seven; ABC defensiveness

Welcome to Best of the Week, kicked off on Friday afternoon in Sydney CBD, continued early today in the Sydney Airport branch of the Mos Eisley cantina, added to on JQ745 to Launceston, and wrapped up in Evandale. It’s not the best way to focus.

What. A. Week.

Sorry (not sorry): this is going to be a long one.

Even without South By Southwest Sydney, there was a lot going down. ARN Media launched its takeover bid on Southern Cross Austereo. Seven held their Upfronts. Quarterly earnings season got going in the US. And the local advertising industry came together to try to demonstrate its economic worth. And we’ll come to all of that.
