So, July 1 is approaching. The biggest affiliation shuffle
in Australian history, is about to take place, with Southern Cross moving from
Ten Network programming, in three aggregated markets (along with three joint ventures that previously carried Ten), to Nine Network
programming and Win moving from Nine Network programming in three aggregated
markets + some others to Ten Network programming. This is
simply, a switch of programming, not channels, but will come with it’s own
problems which we will get into, in a bit. However, the Southern Cross/Win
change for QLD, at least, isn’t the first time a “shuffle” has happened.
