TV Blackbox/TV Bingebox

It indeed was a really big show - an immersive experience instead of buttoned-down sitdown presentation. Nine came out all guns blazing (just don't talk about radio or Karl Stefanovic) and made sure we knew they at least think they are "still the one".

There's some big stuff to cover for Nine's Upfront for 2027, so get along and think about where and how you might be watching your content from Nine first...Stan digitally, or linear-broadcast Nine?

It's a little bit late and we've all got stuff going on, but here's the highlights of BINGE's 2027 announcements and Molk's impression of them and the evening KAYO/Foxtel Upfront event.
There's literally a couple of surprises and the rest you could guess yourself or the team at TV BLACKBOX have already published the announcements.
Just go and watch HIGH COUNTRY season two. It's awesome.

In the first of the 2027 Upfront season podcast Molk casts his eye across the content schedule being offered, the quantity and volume (or lack thereof) of new programs coming, and the event itself.

If you're a fan of Australian TV you'll absolutely want to be across this series of micro-podcasts all about the new, the promised, and the completely impossible...

With the 2026 Logies run and won, Steve Molk chats with Mark Humphries on their impressions about the event, the Top 70 Australian shows (as voted by the Australian public), Robert Irwin's tilt at hosting, the Hall of Fame inductees, and Sam Pang winning the Gold Logie.
Always great to chat with Mark - hear him on ABC Sydney, or grab a ticket to Mark's Broadway Supper Club events!

Goodness gracious - two podcasts in two weeks? This is almost makes it a regular thing again. The problem is SO MUCH happened since the last ep that Molk had swimming around in his brain he just needed a chat with you, his fellow TV fanatics.

So here we go with another hot take on Karl Stefanovic and his inglorious exit from Nine after 26 years, and, as a chaser, the alleged new NRL broadcast rights deal that will deliver the code a monster pay day for seven years and--honestly--changes nothing when it really could have. Except extort the very cash-strapped and viewer-hungry broadcast companies.

Such is life in Australian TV, friends. Such is life.
