Former Ten exec Rob McKnight launches The Ben, Rob & Robbo Show to ‘change the way we watch TV’

April 3, 2020 10:33

Rob McKnight, the founding executive producer of Studio 10, says he is launching a show which will “reshape the way we get news and information”.

The Ben, Rob & Robbo Show will feature McKnight alongside former Big Brother winner Ben Norris and journalist David ‘Robbo’ Robinson in a daily “Australia-centric” show across Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Ticker TV.

Ticker TV CEO Ahron Young said it was the perfect time to be shaking up the TV industry, while McKnight called the idea of launching something in this environment “radical”.

“We’re launching a show that falls outside of the traditional broadcast restrictions – we can talk about anything and bring real opinions without fear of angry executives,” McKnight said.

Definitely a great idea . Everyone is fed up with the old style of news . We all need fresher , informative , light hearted ness , serious moments but a real mix up .
I think I have said this before but I do like the way some of the UK news happens . Good to have a Doctor in now and again . Following a story be it good or bad , crime in the streets , house prices . So much information would be great .
Good luck with its Robert you deserve it that is for sure . Best Bonnie
