Not a good sign in terms of reach for the sport that WWOS doesn’t feel it’s worth having a specific racing journo in its ranks.

Also explains the trend of his tweets in recent times….

Because Speedcafe only runs stories that County Hall approve of? Breaking the years biggest story would suggest otherwise.

Given that Nine Entertainment are making big cuts to its journalist ranks, reasonable to assume any motor sport reporting will be covered by a staff writer.

I assumed the partnership with News Corp was funding this role for Speedcafe and not a reflection on WWOS.

Someone in Supercars must have whispered in a few journos ears at the weekend to speculate on series playoffs & see what the fans think. Quite the coincidence both AA and V8Sleuth have come out with the same articles a day apart….

Yes, probably likely. Doesn’t say much for the reach of the sport though does it.

Are they relying on staff writers to produce articles for AFL, League, Soccer, Cricket, Tennis etc….?

In terms of a profession you’d think working for a larger media empire is more appealing than a niche website? Even if the work will be copy & pasted by News.

Lots of new ads on the teev during the Olympics marathon.

Is it just me.. or is the AAMI being back the past..?

The theme to Sportsworld, that awesome #7 sports teev show, is the background music…

Every time the as comes on, I am drawn to the screen
Their intention no doubt..

Soundtrack Here

The AAMI ad soundtrack is from the Channel 9 Wide World of Sports?

Just waiting for big Darrell Eastlake to appear in the AAMI commercial!

Almost as good as the Marlboro theme song blaring away, as the super sedans formed up for the 50 lap Marlboro Grand Prix on the asphalt at Latrobe Speedway.

The current AAMI commercial is “fanfare for the common man”, Channel 7’s sports theme since 1990

I did put together a Spotify playlist for Channel Seven Bathurst theme and segment music.

Propaganda by Jewelled is a good starting point.

Speedcafe has signed Stefan Bartholomaeus as Managing Editor.

I thought Speedcafe was at its best when he was leading the way breaking news at the site. Makes for a strong line up.

I stopped listening after they failed to mention Oscar Piastri, but mentioned Macca Jones in the AGP episode.

Mr Adderton is suggesting on his socials that he is considering investing in a local platform for Motorsport media.

Hope he is able to create something.. it would make for very creative publisher’s editorials

Well Mr Adderton open the wallet and start a new Motorsport media platform.

Is this before you buy a team, or buy supercars outright or run for President of the USA?

The Betoota Advocate might left him run a few articles on their platform!

I think Adderton would be a great investment for Motorsport Media. He's an ace at this sort of thing. But we'll see

He’s already owned a team and owned a touring car championship.

It would be great to have another outlet battling the drivel served by Speedcafe. V8Sleuth and Auto action lately, maybe get Foges involved…... Recent history though says Australian race fans don’t really care if the news sources are independent or not……

I dont care if they are independent and who runs or owns it
I just want factual, investigative, unbiased, reporting that isnt parroting press release or what the powers that be tell them to.

The old adage applies
News is what they DONT want you to know
- everything else is advertising.

If it’s not independent then how will it be unbiased?
