Description

This week Netflix lifts the veil of secrecy and enters ratings war in Australia and a potential class action law suit adds to mounting pressure on Google’s advertising business.

Commercial TV spending on ‘light entertainment’ is skyrocketing but drama and kids’ programming remain in the doldrums, and the publication of a TV salary rich list shows age of big bucks for broadcast stars might be coming to an end.  

Guest: Dr Anna Potter, Professor in Digital Media and Cultural Studies in QUT’s School of Communication and a Chief Investigator in the Digital Media Research Centre
