I wonder if Lachy made noises to Daddy's mate the good Doctor in Ireland to no avail, so he settles for DMG instead?

'I refuse to answer that question, I don't recall, and I just plain don't know' Should be interesting - maybe Rosso could do an Eddie everywhere and become the new CEO :-) Oh, and it dovetails beautifully with MySpace in profit terms....neither of them make any money Does it say anywhere how much he's paying?

If this happens then DMG radio will have access to content / partnerships on Foxtel, News Ltd papers, online which totally negates Austereo’s involvement with Fairfax This could have some long term implications for Austereo, especially considering Lachlan’s potential move back to News Ltd.

DMG have some interesting activity in the streaming audio and social media space. Keen to see what comes next. It also puts Austereo on notice. I wonder if DMG is viewed as a music asset to improve News' content offering and sweeten a paid content move? DMG certainly dovetails beautifully with MySpace Music. Interesting choice.
