Ticker News (stylised as ticker NEWS), also known simply as Ticker, is a streaming news channel based in Melbourne, Australia. The channel was founded by former Sky News Australia reporter Ahron Young. [1]
Ticker TV was founded as a business, finance and aviation channel by Young in August 2019. [2] Young originally planned to have a subscriber-based funding model, but instead adopted a model that included branded content and sponsorships. [3]
In February 2020, the channel moved to the Melbourne suburb of Richmond and launched a number of new programs. [4]
In May 2021, it was announced that the Australian Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources would run a PR campaign through the channel over two months, featuring stories about businesses that benefited from AusIndustry funding. [5]
Former Australian Football League player Chris Judd joined the channel in October 2022 to host a program called 'Talk Ya Book'. [6]
In August 2023, Young claimed the channel had 3.2 million monthly viewers. [7]
