Who would've thought it would take under a week of Alan on air for Fairfax to have a problem on their hands from 2GB?
Alan broadcast through 4BC via a one hour highlights package for years when the Lamb family owned BC & UE with no problem.
I'm unaware of 4BC having faced any similar defamation action in its 20+ years as a talk station.
Large companies can and should have defamation insurance. Time will tell if this is settled quickly as per requirements of any insurer.
I am interested to know if such legal action will put the brakes on any merger with there always being a clause regarding legal action/unforeseen costs.
