1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:01,800
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the.

2
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 2: Morning Satham well sad news it well, you know, sad

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 2: for the people we know who work in these industry.

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 2: In the TV industry, Foxtel has ad it's music channels

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 2: Max CMC, the country Music channel V Seventy jobs were

6
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,639
Speaker 2: lost last week. More jobs lost again just yesterday they're

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 2: going to outsource. So Foxtel is going to outsource its

8
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 2: music TV now Viacom CBS formed a new partnership with Foxtel.

9
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 2: But there was a time when about one hundred and

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,279
Speaker 2: fifty people worked to put the music channels together. Now

11
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: there's six and they went yesterday. And you and I

12
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: know people who work on these channels. And it's particularly

13
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 2: the country music channel. This is the only outlet that

14
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: country stars Australian country music. This is its only outlet

15
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: and the regionals around Australia. It's this is very popular

16
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: channel in other parts of Australia. But I think Foxtel

17
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 2: has had its issues over the years and they've seen

18
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 2: their only point of different it's now once we had

19
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 2: stand in Netflix and movie channels is to have sports.

20
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 2: So they put all their in the basket and of

21
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: course there's no Sport this year.

22
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of Fox still. I've had it

23
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: for years and I've always liked it. I love Music Max,

24
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: you know, I love doing on the weekend, just sitting

25
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: down there watching Music Max.

26
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: But they were expensive for a long time. I think

27
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: Fox Steale didn't see the writing on the wall for

28
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 2: some time. They were slow to change and now this

29
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 2: has bitten them on the bump. But this is a

30
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 2: real shame that their music channels. As I said, they

31
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: will still have Music TV, but it won't be Australian produced.

32
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 1: But I was hoping I wanted to bring back a

33
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: Donny Sutherlan type show. You sit on the count pants

34
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: with my legs spread wide.

35
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: And enormous test kick killer region yeah.

36
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: Just talking about great songs. Yeah yeah, I wanted that show. Yeah.

37
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 2: Well, you and I did a thing on last Easter.

38
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: Last Easter, we did the countdown in the top one

39
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: thousand songs. Yeah, yeah, that could have been and we

40
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: could have done something.

41
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: We could have done. We could have friends, we could

42
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 2: have saved them. Yeah. So I think that's really sad news.

43
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: And any more jobs that just get lost in this

44
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: sort of industry at a time like this, it's just

45
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 2: really really tough. But that's really sad.
