It's a good and very valid question mate. BN didn't use to audit with ABC pre-Newsquest as far as I'm aware, but I believe they were up around 15k at one point - so while there's definitely been a decline, it was never doing huge numbers at any point. Glyn may be able to shed light on BM's performance in the context of pre- and post-internet.MachoMan09 wrote:I'm not agreeing/disagreeing with you, mate but here's a point, I haven't bought BN for getting on for 15 years. As soon as I had the internet, I gave over bothering. Do you know how many people bought BM/BN pre-internet?
It actually throws up another point which is that the ongoing move of TV to digital platforms, whether through legal or illegal streams, would also surely detrimentally impact on the long-term viability of BN and, accordingly, any valuation?
Yes apart from that.
