As the company chugs toward a national footprint, with the Perth network in their sights, XtrackTV’s content capabilities will open new doors for advertisers and engage commuters like never before.

As a leader in premium 24-hour multi-channel and multi-platform national news content, SKY NEWS was a natural choice for APN Outdoor who have, up until now engaged Brand New Media to provide a variety of lifestyle content.

Our audiences demand up to the moment content, that is specific to their cities and the time of day and SKY NEWS’ expertise in this area allows us to truly deliver what the market wants.”

The content partnership is currently being trialled across the network, with a view for a more permanent relationship to be established. The content includes current news, sport and weather updates specific to each state and is day parted accordingly.

Angelos Frangopoulos, chief  executive officer, Australian News Channel commented, “As Australia’s unrivalled 24-hour news service provider we are constantly looking for innovative ways to deliver our live breaking news coverage to a premium audience.

“The partnership with APN Outdoor allows us the opportunity to speak to a vast and growing national audience and we look forward to keeping them up to date as they’re on the move throughout the working week.”
