Description

Free to air television is at a tipping point as Australians flock to international streamers. The commercial television broadcasters are heading to Canberra next week to lobby the returned government to change the rules they're under. But is it the government's job to support commercial media? 

Is one of our biggest audio studios for sale? It depends who you ask. There's a reporting buzz going on around the future of LiSTNER and Triple M owner Southern Cross Austereo and if it might potentially be sold to Nine. What would consolidation of that kind look like for Australian ears? 

And are the disruptors becoming what they promised to disrupt? Netflix has started cinematic releases for some of the movies it makes itself. When is a movie studio not a movie studio? We also find out just what exactly a Kpop Demon Hunter is. 

Guest Host: Zoe Samios, Business Reporter for the Australian Financial Review 

Guest: Bridget Fair, CEO of Free TV Australia
