How broadcast TV became the third place viewing medium
Welcome to a midweek edition of Unmade.
Today, a first look at data from the government’s annual Media Content Consumption Survey. It offers new insights into the speed at which Australians are turning away from watching linear TV, and a gauge of the level of public concern around gambling advertising. Further down, we’ll also catch up on another positive day on The Unmade Index.

Tim Hi there, Departments survey, even at a sample of 5,000 is dodgy at best. Better to use a 65,928 annual surver (48 weekends of the year), Morgan Research, which delivers findings of (all, past 7 day measure) FTATV 81.0%, SVOD 70.5%, BVOD 34.4%, PayTV 18.7%. But yes the viewing dynamics are changing fast and picking up pace
How depressing that ABC/SBS fta viewing has dropped below 50%. Not because I’m a luddite, but because it gives the Murdoch press and their political friends another piece of “fake news” in their fight for whatever cruel end they want to befall the public service channels.
