^^^ "Bush" in username: legit post 2 months not available with the long dry summer we've had - that's a bit of a worry. The early end of autumn should put more product into the market - if it doesn't... well poo poo. In Wellington I've known an enterprising guy cooking and selling his own with an imported cannabinomimetic. Dunno what crappy plant matter he has dosing it onto, but it must have been a hell of lot easier than squeezing a harvest out every 90 days

dusty posted:Just wondering how y'all are finding it to score. Dismal. Connections are flakey at best, and selling out within hours when supply does turn up. It's most definitely a real thing. People I haven't heard from in months popping out of the woodwork to ask if any can be found. Also gently caress the smug pricks who say "oh, well I can always hook up  " who strangely become very hard to get hold of when you hit them up.

klen dool posted:Weed dries up, and Campbell lives ratings drop. Coincidence? Well, the talk about the State of the Media by Russell Brown at the NAME Conference this morning was quite fascinating. I know it's a little late for the ratings chat earlier, but some of the talking points were interesting. 1. Campbell is probably going to be retained by TV3 in some capacity because they can't actually afford to lose him, due to the nature of his contract, the size of his pay packet and the stipulations he'd negotiated due to the rather idiotic actions of one newly appointed board member (PM me for details, if you want them). 2. Campbell Live, while holding steady ratings for some time now, has been hurt by an overall ratings decline at TV3 that was precipitated by losing Home and Away to TVNZ, which had actually been a solid lead-in to 3News. 3. Cameron Slater will probably be never relevant again, and various news organisations have been tainted by their association with him in the past, from which individual journalists may never actually recover from. For what it's worth, Dirty Politics did shine a light on to how information on individuals from the government are sent out to journalists, and their attack lines have been exposed. If Glucina publishes something about a political figure, there's probably something not on the level going on. 4. Slater was served with a bankruptcy notice on the day Jesse Ryder used him as part of the Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots cosplay he was doing. 5. The resignation of the managing editor of the Herald is something that we should actually be significantly concerned with. 6. Home-grown drama on TV3 may not survive if the upcoming Outrageous Fortune sequel, Westside Story, fails. 7. It would be interesting to see whether or not the brouhaha surrounding "Prominent New Zealander" will affect Key. 8. There is a tendency among the press gallery to basically have too much respect for the powerful, rather than hold them to account. He then told us an anecdote about one particular prominent journalist, and his tendency to compare notes with a journalist from a rival network to make sure their stories matched up for the evening news, and how he failed to see what was wrong with it. That said, the majority of the stories are being reported, to their credit. Another talking point that came up amongst us teachers about Campbell Live was about how the discourse on it has relied heavily on Nielsen ratings, and the people who are publicly expressing support for it probably aren't actually watching it on TV, because they would be of the demographic that has eschewed traditional viewing modes, and would be engaging with it in a different medium, like on the On-Demand service, or specific segments that get uploaded there that would be relevant to our interests, and whether those numbers are being tracked, and what that might reveal. edogawa rando fucked around with this message at 06:55 on Apr 14, 2015 |

http://thedailyblog.co.nz/2015/04/12/live-event-table-talk-making-sense-of-the-campbell-live-affair/ Bradbury is livestreaming a Wallace Chapman-hosted thing on the whole Campbell situation rn, if you care Vagabundo posted:(PM me for details, if you want them). Yes please 7. I think it will, perhaps even unfairly, reflect on Key. The stuff in Hooton's NBR article on the matter would be entirely deserved though, on both the National Party and the Police. Mm, the data collected by MySky etc. is much more comprehensive than Nielsen, and the failure of advertisers to keep up with the way media consumption is evolving is pretty dumb

I will add that the law might need a bit of review in regards to the legality of dope as I there are more important things to worried about other than some dork smoking a spliff in the comfort of his or her own home.

Also advertisers are totally keeping up with the changes in media consumption as evidenced by the change in total advertising spend across the past 10, 15 years? Here, have a look at this grid. If you're talking about how they measure it, yeah radio and newspapers/magazines have completely hosed measurement systems. TV is measured the best it can unless you want every TV to be built with some sort of callback system that can also ID people. Online is great because of cookies and registered users.

Exclamation Marx posted:How much are MySky and on-demand considered when it comes to evaluating programmes' success (and whether to cancel/timeshift them)? Two types of ratings: overnights and consolidated. Overnights = if it's watched live, or if it's watched before 2am of the next day. Consolidated = if you watch it live or within the next seven days. The ratings that matter are consolidated because that's what advertisers and media suppliers use to trade (rather, the media suppliers said 'we're using the number that's higher and gently caress you guys if you disagree'). This only came in a few years ago though, simultaneous with the expansion of the panel from 500 to 600 homes.

Sky is pretty good for sports - people complain about not having free to air sport stuff or online access, but Free to Air coverage is usually woeful, gets pushed to non-prime time slots (i.e. not live) and streaming services are fine if you only want to follow one sport.

Speaking for my own tiny little circle: Few of my friends bother with regular television anymore, they get their news online, they download anything they want to watch, and they don't care for the time limits imposed by tradtional programming. When there is something interesting brought up on NZ T.V they watch it the next day online. I don't know how prevalent this is but among the the technologically savvy youth I could see it becoming more and more common. As for what this would do for ratings Puchu could probably tell.

BARONS CYBER SKULL posted:It's way too lovely, expensive and ancient to ever be "good" at anything. If a whole bunch of sports launch their own online streaming passes then it will quickly become too expensive for people to follow more than three or four leagues/tournaments (you can bet special events like World Cups will be an extra), and even harder to bandwagon/casually follow stuff they don't normally watch on a regular basis. Once you get to that stage with online streaming then most of the cost savings are gone. It might be poo poo in general but as far as sports coverage is concerned, it's not entirely poo poo compared to some places around the world.

Admittedly, in some aspects, they are the only in the world, but they are excellent. For proof, try watching that ESPN broadcast All Blacks Vs USA match from Chicago without scooping your eyes out with a dorito. e: For the record, I don't have a Sky subscription.

Sadly you have to get basic sky + whatever gets you HD and then also buy sport. Sky is prohibitively expensive for non sport stuff now that we have nitflux.
