Lol, FWIR, I think the figure is under 20K all up, depending on amount and time of day you advertise. Yep, late night add by some production company amongst all the skin tones and hushed voices.

It would be like any business. Some activities ands methods work and others do not. The skill to a any successful business is knowing/picking/ learning which work. e.g Crikey. Caveat, I have no idea how successful/ profitable it really is. >> The ABC news is all regurgitated feeds from elsewhere. > > Not all of it is, most obviously with what has just happened in Israel. Before Y2k, I was involved in a roll out of upgrade to their "news desk" service. Its 3am and the upgrade is just one big schmozzle and definitely not working and I'm strongly suggesting its time to roll back, but Nope. it is allowed to progress and is left in a broken state for 6am. Nothing can be filed from London, Uk. the link is broken. I later found out, that it hadn't actually been used for over three months anyway. All the London/Uk stories have come in from other services/wires or other means. So, it has been happening from a while. Try watching SBS 6:30, ABC and 7:30 report and it can be three identical shot and stories.
