Nine Entertainment’s radio sale was meant to be routine — but the coverage itself revealed just how little priority radio had inside the company. In this episode of Media McKnight, Rob McKnight breaks down: • A live TV mic fail on Nine Gold Coast — and why how you recover matters more than the mistake • Nine’s radio stations sold to billionaire publican Arthur Laundy — and why this might actually be good news • Sloppy Nine News graphics versus Seven getting it right • Nova’s on-air shake-ups and Joel Creasy stepping out solo • The BBC under fire over colour-blind casting in historical dramas • Doctor Who casting backlash and the suspension-of-disbelief problem • Nelson Aspen reveals he was sacked by Sunrise — not a mutual exit • And this week’s edition of “things I just don’t care about” — featuring the Australian Open and tennis players complaining about privacy 🎥 Media McKnight video episodes go live Tuesdays at 9pm AEDT 📰 The column publishes Wednesdays at tvblackbox.com.au 👍 Like, subscribe, and hit the bell to support independent media analysis.
