Part of Binge's strategy is a section called "surprise me", which will bring up a random show or movie. If you don't like what you get, you can roll the dice again.Netflix has also reportedly been testing a function on some devices thatIt recalls a technology streaming services were supposed to disrupt: the old-fashioned free-to-air television, where you weren't always sure what you were going to get.
"You can now swap between streaming services, like flicking switches on and off, but the existence of more options is overwhelming,"Binge will have some of Foxtel's original shows, but Binge will operate separately to on-demand platform Foxtel Now, and a subscription to one won't get you access to the other.
we are discontinuing Foxtel, $100 a month for recycled shite and now piggy bagging on content we pay for elsewhere
Newscorp / Foxtel treated their pay tv customers like crap. New name? Who cares?
What the fuck is Murdoch getting free advertising on the ABC for? This is absolutely disgraceful. Ita must go.
What does TheRealPBarry think about this?
Shame. Buttrosed
I don't know what that means and couldn't care to find out.
Is that graphic for real? If it offers re-runs of Seinfeld and Sex and the City it is indistinguishable from the crappo programming lineup at foxtel. No, thanks.
Why is the ABC advertising for Rupert Murdoch!
Amazing guys, I’m looking forward to having HBO and BBC FIRST! So I will be able to watch Game Of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire, Breaking Bad, Peaky Blinders, Westworld, Ray Donovan ect! where do i sign up?
To those complaining this is an ad... it didn't make me want to buy this pile of crap and it probably didn't for you either. There's not a lot else for music and pop culture reporters to cover at the moment, so maybe cut the author some slack? As for the service? 😂 FOAD Rupert
WTF? ABC shills for Murdoch now?
Don't bother with this rubbish ppl, there are plenty of streaming apps that won't rob you blind
Murdoch is very late to the streaming scene. His pay TV is clunky 1990's technology that needs to be put out of its misery.
In what way does this meet ABC editorial standards ABCmediawatch ?
“Regret comes from choosing to invest in an option such as a new TV series that turns out to be unsatisfying.' Someone no doubt paid $$ for this high-level academic opinion. 🤦♂️
If it has HBO catalogue I could be interested
I stopped reading at 'Foxtel' - no thanks, there is enough Murdoch in Australia
Murdoch - wouldnt touch it
I don’t like Foxtel, never have
I can’t believe it’s actually called Binge. I mean who approved that?
This is an advertisement. Remove this now.
Now why would Aunty be promoting Murdoch ? ItaButtrose any idea?
The ABC giving a free advertisement to yet another Murdoch entity - seriously Aunty you need to check your priorities and go lie down with a Bex.
And now an ad for Murdoch. The IPA have now truly got it's claws into the federal broadcaster
Anything associated with Fox is poison.
So they removed Binge from the packages and now want a subscription fee for it. Riggghhhtt.
I think a more appropriate headline should be 'Murdoch is launching yet another streaming service, let’s see how he fucks it up this time'
It’s Murdoch’s latest attempt to phase out his shite pay tv channels. I won’t be subscribing to anything owned by Murdoch.
Advertising. . . . . . .
Why is the ABC advertising this? 🤨
Yeah Nah
An ad on the ABC?
If it's even linked to Foxtel then it's a hard pass from me. In all honesty, I want absolutely nothing to do with them.
I'll give Murdoch a miss and scroll through Stan instead.
Wow. Advertising for Uncle Rupe, are we?
good ol libs and their double edge swords - promote their true leader Murdoch and make people hate the ABC at the same time, nice work!
This is not journalism!
This is an ad. On the ABC. For a Murdoch product.
Great stuff thanks for the free advertising theirabc. Now we just have to push and defund you and make the ABC subscription. 👍
Why are you advertising for Murdoch?
thanks now I know it's foxtel there is no way I will use this platform.
BLATANT advert for Murdoch much ... Thanks captains pick ITA ...
