Mumbrellacast: The TV industry’s Canberra invasion, upfronts season is here, and Vinyl Media shaves off the top

Join Hal Crawford, Tim Burrowes and Nathan Jolly for a look at everything under Australia’s media and marketing umbrella.

The bosses of the Australian TV industry flooded Canberra this week to lobby the government for tax relief and to put an end to gambling ad restrictions. Tim was there too, and he’s here to share all the details of the event – and the conversations he had with the industry’s most powerful people.

Upfronts season has finally arrived and SBS is the first out of the gate. We discuss what the country’s multicultural public broadcaster has up its sleeves, and if it’ll be enough to wow media buyers.

Meanwhile, fresh off delivering its full-year financial results, Vinyl Media has made just under 10% of its workforce redundant, including its head of editorial and head of publishing.

The media giant described the move as “a small adjustment”, but with a looming deadline to breakeven only four months away, we have to ask: will Vinyl Group make breakeven by its deadline of December?
