minus-square@zik@aussie.zonelinkfedilink12•10 months agoI never thought to see the day that a former News Limited CEO was installed as head of the ABC by Labor. Surely they’ll regret this at the next election when the ABC becomes like another Fox News.
minus-square@Custoslibera@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink4•10 months agoIt’s disappointing. Surely there is some leftist media professor they could put in that would really give Sky News something to cry about?
minus-square@Raiderkev@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•10 months agoFuck man… Do I have to tell my kids they can’t watch Bluey anymore?
minus-square@Nath@aussie.zonelinkfedilink4•10 months agoNo. Bluey is bigger than the ABC, now. Disney already distributes Bluey to most of the world and would snap up Australia/UK rights in a heartbeat if Ludo fell out with ABC. That would be a tragedy though, and I actually expect the chairman of the ABC would be overruled if they put the Bluey deal in jeopardy somehow.
