Business Spectator founder Kohler: News Limited made us an offer we can’t refuse
Business Spectator figurehead Alan Kohler has signalled that it will be business as usual with the online publication’s team staying on board after the company’s sale to News Limited for prices varyingly reported at $22-30m.
The sale of Australian Independent Business Media leaves News Limited in a stronger position to compete with Fairfax Media’s Australian Financial Review.
Kohler’s new title will be editor-in-chief of Business Spectator and Eureka Report.
Kohler’s note:
Well well what a shame ,are you going to be told what to do ,what to say,I was going to sign up ,but sorry I dont want to read pupettry,go count the dollars and good luck.
So if News Ltd is the place to be, why are the ABC still allowing him to dilute their brand by keeping him on air?
Does anyone else cringe at hearing the word ‘pant’? “I adore that pant you’re sporting today!”
I saw on one of the TV news last evening (cannot recall which channel) this transaction reported as being “$22b” instead of $22m. Big difference!
A lot of spelling errors and typos on the various TV news noticable lately . . . . maybe I’m just paying more attention?
Business Spectator is in losses
only the tipsheet makes any money – and what great little “some care, no responsibility” businesses these are, particularly this one which skirted around the need for an AFSL license but undoubtedly in the minds of its subscribers is providing investment advice
..some three centuries ago?
I love the smell of bitterness in the morning.
Well done guys.
Archie, do you think anyone who writes about finance should have to get a licence?
It makes you wonder how good they are in the numbers game when Kohler thinks he is over 300 years old…
Well done to Alan. The bloke took a massive punt in starting his own site and it has paid of handsomely. Listen to all the hating and bashing on this threat. Its the main reason why many of you will be working we into your 60’s and still winging about how unfair life is.
Now we all know what value News Ltd place on a 3 minute segment on the prime time ABC news every night.
Nearly $30M…….
I wonder if Gerard Whateley or Tony Jones are thinking very hard about starting their own online publication on the side?
