BotW: A new PR crisis for Optus; Radio’s killing season arrives early
Welcome to Best of the Week, partly written on JQ749 home from Sydney and completed in lovely Evandale, Tasmania this morning.
Today: Optus is facing yet another PR crisis, but this time its comms strategy appears to have risen to the challenge; and the falling dominoes at Nova kick off radio’s killing season.
Happy Escapology Day for tomorrow.

I am in Ho Chi Minh City using Optus $5 a day roaming and suddenly lost connectivity while out and about – had no way to book a car to back to my hotel and had to rely on the kindness of strangers. A small global ripple from much bigger problems in Oz … PS Was no mention of the outage as I spent hours interacting with call centres / chat bots updating credit cards etc later that night!!
