Reeltime to launch in August

A friend just pointed me to this site.

ReelTime Media Ltd ("ReelTime") is rolling out Australia’s first national broadband TV (bTV) service to offer current release movies, TV episodes, favourite library titles, arthouse, foreign film and much more…all within the comfort of your home. Our content will be available for download to your PC in August.

Some experienced Non-Executive Directors on their board, including a former CEO of Channel Ten and a former CEO of VideoEzy.  The site says the content will be DRMd but no mention of price or what the playback devices will be. You can sign up to be notified when they launch. I’ll try to get someone from the company on the show.

Talk about the very funny Hobo Radio podcast on TPN

Our new segment; “Asshole Of The Week”. This week our asshole is – Mel Gibson. In this segment, Cam chastizes anti-semites everywhere and explains the real reasons behind conflict in the Middle East and what Condi Rice could do to bring peace if she really wanted to.

Terry Lane (senior Aussie journalist) resigns after writing this article which was full of fraudulent information which he sourced from a fake video by Jesse Macbeth (an interesting side note – the online version of the article on The Age’s website has NO INDICATION yet that the story is full of disinformation… even though Lane has resigned over it and the management of The Age are fully aware of it… even a blogger would have posted an update by now)

Welcome back to Australia, Richard. I agree with your statement:

"People want to consume media however they want, whenever they want and a media company that doesn’t adapt to that is going to fail …"

Call me when you’ve settled in. We should chat. I can help with your mission. My number is 0400455334.

TPN needs a VP for the USA

TPN (that’s The Podcast Network for those of you new around here) needs a VP to head up our US operations. The main responsibilities will be to represent TPN to venture capitalists in the US and deal with advertisers. Should have experience in either media / tech start-ups / capital markets / advertising. Here’s the thing – I can’t pay you a salary. But you will get equity in TPN and a success fee. An ideal opportunity for someone who wants to be part of the new media space. We’re the only podcasting business of any significant size that hasn’t got investors, so we are ripe for the picking, but it’s impossible to work the US markets from Australia. I intend moving to the USA ASAP but can’t afford to do it at the moment. Email me if you’re interested in the position.
