As Australian business grapples with the coronavirus crisis, Ticker TV is expanding live news and analysis programming, from Monday, launching two extra Live news programs a day, focusing on the business impact from coronavirus.
Spotee on Ticker with Elio D’Amato also launches, shining a spotlight on shares during this difficult time, and Ticker Newsroom broadcasts live at 10am as the market opens, and live at 2pm weekdays, in addition to Ticker Today at 8am.
Broadcaster and ACRA winner Alana McLean will join as an anchor and will host Ticker Newsroom daily at 2pm.
Alana has previously worked for some of Australia’s leading media companies including SevenWest Media, Southern Cross Austereo and Grant Broadcasters, and says: “I’m thrilled to be joining such an innovative media platform. During these uncertain times, I think our appetite for information has never been stronger.”
“Ticker has created a fresh voice in locally produced news and I look forward to being part of that conversation with our viewers.”
Alana will also handle Ticker’s social media news content, working alongside Ryan Jon (ex Hit929 Perth and Hit104.7 Canberra) who oversees the social media strategy.
Ticker CEO Ahron Young says: “Alana is a well established broadcaster who has been part of the Ticker family so she was the obvious choice for the role. Ticker is all about social media, so we are creating the role of Social Media Presenter.
“Live broadcasting is in our DNA and we want to be the voice of business and startups during this crucial period, no matter how or when they tune into to Ticker content.”
