TIME CODES

.00 – Are we listed out? Too many lists? Or do we love a snackable bite sized piece of content?

3.30 – Scot Palmer – one of Hutchy’s journalistic heroes

4.30 – Manufactured Media. Perfect piece of clickbait was the Judchella story which was trending story over Easter. We’ll see the same with the AFL Season possibilities. Stories that have a yes or no answer manufactured into more.

8.30 – Debate over the ‘exclusive’ angle. Can a story be exclusive if the word ‘could’ is also included in the story? Hutchy and Damo have vastly different opinions on what makes an ‘exclusive’.

13.40 – Peter V’Landys and the NRL situation. Has V’Landys mis-read the play on the return date for NRL? Discussion of the challenges of the NRL’s deal with potential broadcasters.

24.30 – The value of the NRL and AFL rights.

26.15 – The current state of Crocmedia and Pacific Star.

31.00 – Radio Ratings. Traditional diary measurement suspended due to Coronavirus. There will be positive developments due to this crisis.

John Curtain via Twitter asks;

Imagine if AFL were financially responsible and didn’t waste so much money. Channel 7 shares are down, the AFL could have bought Channel 7, created media deals, streaming via 7 and total media dominance. What are your opinions on this?

43.00 – We’ve seen some tussling over stories this week. AFL.com.au and the GWS Giants at it thanks to reporting of Mitch Cleary. Gerard Whateley v Eddie McGuire over the quarantine hubs.

45.45 – Join us for our Reverse Press Conference – Thursday morning at 7am. Email
