AustraliaLiveTV in trouble

THE future of Adelaide-based internet TV station AustraliaLiveTV is under a cloud as the station's management owes money to some of its key talent including high-profile broadcaster Ken "KG" Cunningham.

Staff wait for unpaid wages and creditors demand answers on the station’s future plans and prospects. The station’s lease on its Hindmarsh studio has been cancelled by the property owner.

However, AustraliaLive TV’s part-owner Rob Popplestone told Indaily “we still believe in the dream”, foreshadowing the launch of studios in Melbourne next month once sponsorship was completed

“Facebook is still making a loss and yet it’s valued at billions in unrealised potential,” he said.

Former ALTV staff members have told Indaily the Adelaide telecasts ended when its landlord, Chapel Lane Studios, pulled the plug at 2.59pm on Monday, December 13.

A few weeks ago I went to have a look at Inside The Game (KB & Ninnis had replaced Maher) and it just wasn't on so that probably explains it.

Thanks. Was going to post this earlier today and forgot.

For those who don't know, ALTV featured a show with KG and Smyth as well as the show with KB/Maher/Ninnis. There was also an extreme sports-oriented show hosted by Nathan Strempel who MCed the High Stakes Hoops event.

Might've been thinking of Twitter. I think Facebook is now profitable.

I heard that KB quit back in november due to unpaid wages being owed to him, which sucks because i really enjoyed Inside the Game
