NRL powerbroker Peter V\u2019Landys, Foxtel\u2019s Delany and Kayo and Binge chief Hilary Perchard were guests of DAZN at the FIFA Club World Cup final in New York last month. All three posed for a picture alongside Blavatnik and CEO Shay Segev, with V\u2019Landys, third-from-left, sporting a DAZN hat.<\/p>\n
Surely, a vote of confidence?<\/p>\n
Minister\u2019s homecoming<\/p>\n
He was spotted visiting Nine\u2019s 1 Denison St headquarters in recent weeks, and we can confirm former Coalition communications spokesperson David Coleman has been hired by the company to help identify business opportunities after its sale of home listings portal Domain.<\/p>\n

Coleman, the Member for Banks from 2013 to May this year, is a former director of strategy and digital at Nine, and was involved in the launch of Stan. He\u2019ll be in North Sydney two days a week, but won\u2019t be using his Rolodex to help the company\u2019s lobbying efforts in the national capital.<\/p>\n
Nine will net $1.4 billion<\/a> for its stake in Domain, and after all is said and done with shareholders, should be left with a war chest of about $150 million in cash, analysts say, which is plenty to play with.<\/p>\n More Australian content on Apple TV+?<\/p>\n The world\u2019s third-largest company is hiring for a new marketing lead in Australia and New Zealand, just months after advertising for its first head of Apple TV down under.<\/p>\n While Netflix has found success making a handful of Australian shows every year, Apple might be dipping its toes in the water while streaming content quotas remain up in the air. A leading contender for the Apple gig, and for Netflix\u2019 vacant content lead role, is Alison Hurbert-Burns, who left Foxtel earlier this year. Que Minh Luu, who recently left Netflix<\/a> is also rumoured to be in the running at Apple.<\/p>\n Busy Bibi<\/p>\n Sharri Markson has been cultivating a senior source inside the Israeli Knesset for some time, travelling to Jerusalem in 2024 for 45-minute \u201csecret briefing\u201d with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The hard work has clearly paid off.<\/p>\n Bibi took time to drop into Sharri Markson\u2019s Sky News show this week. Credit: AP<\/p>\n Sky News\u2019 Markson managed to bag an exclusive chat with Bibi, who was fresh off his war of words<\/a> with our own prime minister. It aired last night.<\/p>\n The Israeli leader is clearly a man with a lot on his plate. You have to wonder where he finds time to do it all. But if Bibi was trying to make a splash, Sky After Dark\u2019s audience is hardly the ABC in prime time. Last time we checked, Sharri\u2019s average nightly broadcast audience was about 31,000, but we concede there\u2019s a much bigger audience on YouTube.<\/a><\/p>\n![\"Bibi](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/18824a0d85b41f4a02461804c2c026b9396ea743.jpeg\")
