If PBL is part of a group that buys CanWest MediaWorks (Owners of TV3 and part-owners of Australia’s Ten network) then that lousy msn.co.nz site could get a whle lot better, as could TV3.
However if Kerry Stoke’s Seven network wins then we’ll see interesting times online as the two rivals PBL and Seven will be working together.
On the surface it makes far more sense for PBL to be the buyer – they already have a relationship with TV3. However there may be other synergies such as supply agreements, and those radio assets are significant, including The Edge, More FM, The Breeze and a few others.
