This badly timed, blatant CPRS scare campaign is undone by the fact that neither business is concerned enough to warn its investors, writes Bernard Keane.
SBS News used as vehicle for Top Gear
|
SBS news on Sunday night: After 25 minutes of actual world news coverage you won’t get anywhere else, there was a three minute-story on the mandatory introduction of new automatic stabilisers into Australian cars. Which went on and on and on. Why the exhaustive interest in such a minor matter? Well, the two large separate grabs from Australian Top Gear (SBS) presenter James Morrison might have something to do with it. A blatant cross promotion for which everyone involved in SBS News should hang their heads in shame |

but ads will not effect the quality of sbs coverage. or so we were assured by the bean counters
Every Monday morning on the ABC ‘A.M.’ radio program the ABC cross promotes that night’s ‘Four Corners’ TV program. Blatant and on a network that isn’t supposed to advertise at all.
yes deccles you’re so right, because promoting a current affairs program on ABC (4corners), on a current affairs program(AM) is so similar to a news program advertising a big boys toy show (top gear ).
SBS. once a quality channel, no longer
The ‘talking to ordinary folk’ segments on ABC’s Insiders were a lot better before they started being used to cross-promote various ABC local radio personalities who, as it turns out, are by and large pretty annoying.
