There will be no jobs for those leaving Fairfax at channel 10 as its going from bad to worse . Murdoch and Rhinehart are dragging it down by the month . Dropping out of AFL coverage and departing from its sports type format on digital channel lost it many viewers . Bolt must be a ratings deadend . Fairfax like Newscorp have a battle on their hands which is why the job cuts are being used . It has been coming for a decade and both organisations twiddled their thumbs .
Geomac. On Sunday I flicked over to channel 10 once in the morning and again in the afternoon. The Bolt report was on both times. Are they showing that twice a day now or does it run all day? Are they trying to devalue the network intentionally so they can swoop in and buy it all up at a bargain?
