For those that join us live-thanks for playing along, friends!So what did we talk about? How about all of this:Nine's National News Director Darren Wick steps away in kind of awkward circumstances, and nobody can agree on what's actually happening;Rob has a chat with Nine's director of programming Hamish Turner about their best start to the year (and that's saying something), and how that positions the network for the rest of 2024;In news absolutely everyone saw coming Paramount Global confirmed Beverley McGarvey as stand-alone CEO to run the ANZ business all by herself like a proper grown-up and everything;There is controversy (look, not really) at the new airdate (release time) of popular (with some) series Doctor Who (they are on first) now that it's part of Disney's content family (regimented programming) and this is what happens when capitalism overtakes public broadcasting (naturally).We finish this ep with our traditional TV BINGEBOX segment, full of endorsements and warnings (some upmolks here and some downmolks there).Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/tv-blackbox.
