    I never thought to see the day that a former News Limited CEO was installed as head of the ABC by Labor. Surely they’ll regret this at the next election when the ABC becomes like another Fox News.

      It’s disappointing.

      Surely there is some leftist media professor they could put in that would really give Sky News something to cry about?

        No. Bluey is bigger than the ABC, now.

        Disney already distributes Bluey to most of the world and would snap up Australia/UK rights in a heartbeat if Ludo fell out with ABC.

        That would be a tragedy though, and I actually expect the chairman of the ABC would be overruled if they put the Bluey deal in jeopardy somehow.
