When this writer re-joined If in 2017, Netflix had an estimated 2.8 million subscribers, Stan had about 800,000 customers and the highest-rating entertainment show, The Block finale, attracted 2.5 million viewers in the five mainland capitals.

Ita Buttrose.
Publishing and media doyenne Ita Buttrose has been confirmed as the new chair of the ABC.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced today that the government will recommend Buttrose’s appointment to the Governor-General.
Buttrose is the founder of Cleo magazine, and a former editor-in-chief of The Australian Women’s Weekly, The Daily Telegraph, Sunday Telegraph and The Sun-Herald. Over her career, she has worked for all of the commercial broadcasters, and also served on the board of a variety of organisations, including News Ltd.
The former Australian of the Year will be the second woman to hold the role of ABC chair in the broadcaster’s 87 year history – the other being Leonie Kramer in the early 1980s.
Morrison said Buttrose was an “outstanding candidate”. “Ita is an extraordinary Australian who will bring decades of media and management experience to the ABC. I can think of no-one better to lead the national broadcaster.
