The way the industry thinks about linear TV and how it works with advertisers is changing, says Ticker’s founder Ahron Young.
Speaking with Mumbrella for this week’s Mumbrellacast, Young, whose business moved to a new office at the former Melbourne GM Holden HQ this week, explains Ticker’s business model and why it went down a different path to traditional TV businesses.
Young established Ticker in 2019, bringing his experience as a reporter and bureau chief for Sky News to set up an entirely online news service. He says the challenges of building an audience for advertisers to get meaningful ROI, or pulling in enough subscribers to turn a profit, turned him off either of those ways of thinking.

Returning residents and potential visitors to Victoria have criticised the government’s sudden announcement of mandatory entry permits, after the website to apply for the required documentation was still not working hours after the 6pm deadline. Earlier on Monday, premier Daniel Andrews announced that anybody wanting to enter Victoria, including from areas with no travel restrictions, needed to apply for a permit through the Service Victoria.
