Australia’s pay-tv leader Foxtel has made 200 staff redundant, as it struggles to cope with the impact of coronavirus and the changing media landscape. It has also put 140 additional staff, mostly in its Fox Sports division, on leave until June.
The company, 65% owned by News Corp. and 35% owned by phone company Telstra, operates a mixture of movie and sports channels. But it has been live sports that allowed it to charge premium prices and retain subscribers in recent years when customers have cut the cord or turned to streaming services, such as Netflix and local player Stan, for cheaper film and TV content.
The coronavirus outbreak has caused the cancellation of most sporting events in Australia and abroad, thus eliminating Foxtel’s competitive advantage. It has made several recent attempts to make its content packages more attractive, including slashing monthly prices, and offering its 10 movie channels for free to its...

Australian subscription television (Stv) has experienced considerable growth in terms of penetration and impact on the content production industry. Aravind Balasubramaniam spoke with pay TV executives about the future of their sector in the face of increased competition.
With an increased economic pressure on families and a wider range in free entertainment and information options available to most Australians, the subscription television sector faces an enormous challenge: anticipating future trends and offering new services that people perceive as being worth their hard earned money, and make them feel in control of their experience.
“The average subscriber is now looking for greater flexibility and control over their television viewing experience, which is why Stv providers must prioritise services that include full functionality on demand, or downloadable content and web-enabled services,” said the CEO of Act provider TransACT, Ivan Slavich.

It’s the most exciting time of the year… Harry Potter Time!!! I know these geeks are jumping up and down with glee. So, naturally, in celebration of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Pt.1, we are dedicating this weeks top ten to the Magical Creatures in the Harry Potter films.
Top Ten Harry Potter Magical Creatures Honorable Mention: Patronus
Ok, we know that a patronus isn’t really a magical creature, but a rather than a protective spell, and it’s still pretty darn cool.
“A Patronus is a kind of positive force, and for the wizard who can conjure one, it works something like a shield, with the Dementor feeding on it, rather than him. In order for it to work, you need to think of a memory. Not just any memory, a veryhappy memory, a very powerful memory. Allow it to fill you up… lose yourself in it…...
