Another Channel Ten F1 Fail

Hot on the heels of Network Ten’s latest shafting of Australian Formula One fans, comes another F1 fail from the network. Here’s a screen capture of the EPG for tonight’s coverage of the Bahrain Grand Prix: …which reads: “At the 2012 Formula One, fans will get to see all of the action, excitement and drama [...]

Herald Sun Too Weak To Admit Screw Up

Much hilarity ensued tonight when the Herald Sun apparently “inadvertently” revealed the winner of the Gold Logie award. At 11:40pm, they released a statement: Technical Glitch Reveals Winner “At no time did the Herald Sun publish the name of the winner on its website, iPad app or in Twitter.” Oh really?

Metro Trains Melbourne: Live from 1995!

Melbourne’s suburban train operator Metro Trains Melbourne (MTM) has copped a lot of flack in recent days over its decision to drop sending service updates on Twitter for anything other than “major delays” – which they are defining as “20 or more minutes”. They are telling customers to “regularly check their website” for details of [...]
