Seven pounces on Prime (which is bad news for SCA); Facebook’s ACCC warning; Woolworths Radio… again
Welcome to Unmade, written for the last time in 2021 at beautiful Sisters Beach, Tasmania.
As I told subscribers to the paid tier of Unmade last week, with international borders opening, I plan to spend some time with family in the UK. I’ll still be working full time on Unmade, albeit from another timezone.
So over the last few weekends, I’ve spent far too much time at Spotlight, getting the place Airbnb ready. If there’s anything more pointless than “European” sized pillows I don’t know what it is. Don’t judge the copywriting on the Airbnb listing – I’ll get to that…
After a few days in NSW, I’ll be flying out next weekend.

Given Seven’s long history of good quality regional news bulletins at Seven Queensland, there’s no particular reason to think that they will downgrade Prime’s current news output, which is focused on NSW and to a lesser extent WA. They might even improve their Victorian service.
Also, regarding likely bidders for SCB’s regional television business, surely ACM is now in that category. The synergies their existing operations could have had with Prime can be had in a very similar form with SCTV.
Those bold words in the Woolies radio release really do sound familiar. I remember using phrases like those at the UK supermarket station Asda FM back in the late 1990’s 🙂
