this week at FOMM: HBO a go-go?
The New Television
Kim Vecera and Peter Rose
In 2007, Foxtel and Austar launched showcase – the premium channel with
landmark Australian drama such as Love My Way, Satisfaction, Tangle and the soon to be
seen Cloudstreet.
With their strategy to attract subscribers with high end, high concept, high quality content, two of the industry’s most influential leaders Kim Vecera and Peter Rose talk about what they refer to as Australia’s “New Television”, about what makes “showcase material” and the ways in which the HBO model can or can’t be replicated here.
TV is definitely cool again.
