I think cable is really a zombie now, Netflix and every other streaming service is destroying them.
And as a consequence of that, I think that the libs were able to do uncle Rupert a favour and cut away the cross media rules (completely ignoring the fact that IP streaming of entertainment isn't local news / news), but I could be wrong.
Just waiting for Netflix or someone to buy the cricket and footy and crush channel 9 and foxtel.
