Cambell: Set to lead Fox Sports
Congrats Pete on the new appointment.
Congratulations Mr Campbell!
Well im glad i haven’t had my pockets lined with any redundancy payments yet, but apart from the new propaganda communication from PD’s (Pat Delaney) team. The “new” IQ4 is on its way …. a wiz bang IP box will have a FTA connection and be marketed as an amazing box, but hasn’t this been invented before 10 years ago. …..FetchTv!
Too true – the IQ3.5 is nothing more than an faster processor and some additional memory – same dodgy baseline code but what a cool marketing gimmick to call it IQ4. And we’ve had a CCO before – Moritz also held the same title, same remit but that didn’t work…
Redundancies?!?! at least you may have a site – we’ll be shut down within 12 months and the long final chapter of Austar will be shuttered as the new mgmt team decide to offshore the lot… and NPS running at -3 no wonder given the wonderful service offshore teams can provide given they have never seen the product or used it besides powerpoint slideware.
All that streaming content of sport with a second dose of sport instead of real content. Budgets cut for real original content to the bone and FNA on the cutting room floor. But wait! more gimmicks will be surely released over time as Martian, Venus and even the new IQ4 are rebadged and rebranded… but what about the growth in customers who aren’t willing to pay the current ARPU of $83 per subscriber per month compared to other OTT plays sub $20?
How cools is that… Congratulations Pete… Hard work paying off. M
