Podcasts about fetch tv

Welcome to an audio-led edition of Unmade.Today's edition features an intriguing conversation with one of the most connected executives in the television industry - Fetch TV boss Scott Lorson.Scott Lorson has outlasted the bosses of every other major media company in Australia. In an industry riven by disruption, Lorson has been a constant at the helm of Fetch TV for nearly 15 years.The aggregation service - delivered via the company's Mighty and Mini set top boxes has hung its hat on elegant navigation and convenient aggregation of all the major streaming services, both free and paid.Last year, in one of the most significant moments for Fetch TV, Telstra bought a $50m, controlling stake from Astro Holdings. It will see customers of the Telstra TV service migrate to Fetch, taking the service into more than a million households.In today's podcast conversation with Unmade's Tim Burrowes, Lorson discusses the relevance of Fetch against the increasing smartness of smart TVs, how the next step might be to integrate the Fetch interface into televisions, the current reform of prominence legislation, and where the TV market goes next.Uniquely, Lorson deals with all the players, not just locally but globally, and in both the free and susbscription markets. It means he arguably has a better understanding of the dynamics of the television industry than anyone else in Australia.Editing was courtesy of Abe's Audio, the people to talk to about voiceovers, sound design and podcast production.Message us: letters@unmade.media This is a public episode.

Television, as we know, is changing rapidly - significantly more so than radio. Viewers to live TV are declining, as audiences get more used to on-demand services like Netflix, Hulu, Stan, or iPlayer. So, TV platforms are trying new things. At the beginning of this year, the TV system that I subscribe to - a little Australian set-top-box called Fetch TV - added a new channel. It’s a true-crime channel called Oxygen, run by NBC Universal, and it’s on channel 101. Oxygen is an interesting model - because it isn’t actually a television channel at all. Sure, it looks like a television channel. It appears in the EPG alongside all the other television channels, and it has a broadcast schedule, too, 24-hours a day. If I flick through the channels in an evening, I’ll flick past Oxygen just like every other channel. You can watch it just like any other channel - you can watch a show, then the show finishes, then something else will start. In fact, Oxygen is just a collection of on-demand TV shows. On the TV Guide, it exists as a virtual channel - the EPG slot there to promote the shows available on-demand. When you channel-surf into Oxygen, it isn’t giving you a live TV channel at all - in fact, the show conveniently starts at the beginning. It’s an on-demand service - not a live TV channel. Programming has been chosen based on how well it’ll perform as an on-demand product. What could radio learn from this? Imagine - you tune into the radio, and the first thing you hear is your favourite song. Followed by, yes, the live presenters (at least, recorded live five minutes ago). A radio station that gives you the travel at 8.20am and only at 8.20am, because that’s the time you’re just getting ready to drive into work. A radio station that has everything that makes great radio - presenters talking about the football last night, the ride into town today; but a radio station that has nothing that makes for bad radio - no poorly-targeted advertising, no overplaying of my favourite songs. If we were to think of great music radio as a jigsaw, made from short pieces of on-demand audio content, rather than a live unalterable stream - what would that mean? That “jigsaw” could be assembled just for me, on my mobile phone. And for you, on yours. And a version of that jigsaw also assembled for those listening on FM - with less of the personalisation, but otherwise should sound virtually identical. Is the future for radio something which is devised as a collection of on-demand audio, assembled for each listener… and where the FM transmitter is just another listener? Does radio need a bit of Oxygen? Support the show.
