Interesting that press releases came out from both Nine & TEN on the weekend…….but nothing from SEVEN.
Are they still tumbling the numbers to find a ‘Win’ somewhere?
They should have brought TEN’s Beverley McGarvie for post 7.30 pm years ago. They should have merged with Fairfax, instead of letting NEC buy Fairfax cheap, they should not have sold their Prime TV shares, and now facing the Thorney Catalano spoiling stake there. and now, who would want the SWM scrip offer and the big decline CY 2020 cash earnings when the cash flow is impacted by Olympics losses hidden by an onerous contract provision.
KARL WILL BRING VIEWERS BACK TO NINE THE TODAY LOST AFTER HE WAS SACKED IN 2018. UDAY WILL ALSO GAUN VUEWERS FROM SUNRISE
Observer, observe the last parra in the PR above.
When James Warburton took over from Tim Worner he told the entire industry up front that 7 where programming tired, too many 55 plus and too many failures so at that stage basic maths said he couldn’t win the year so waved white flag and conceded. He has axed anything local by state today tonight, Sydney weekender, equivalent shows in other markets. Canned Sunday as never after as many years could rival 60 minutes and expensive I would imagine etc etc. All eyes will be on 1st 2 surveys 2020 to see if changed direction has worked or otherwise.
