Where to watch
The news channel continues to stream with global syndication partners, including FetchTV, Flash News and TelstraTV in Australia, SlingTV and FuboTV in the United States, RakutenTV and SamsungTV+ across Europe, the UK and Japan, Zee5 in India and connected TVs anywhere.
CEO Ahron Young said: “This is a defining moment for team Ticker. Never content with just one channel, we know our viewers are urban professionals making key life choices and looking for content that is designed for them.
“News is always in our DNA, but as we learned more about our audience we found that there’s an opportunity to create one place that delivers news, money, tech and lifestyle tailored to them. This is Ticker 3.0,” Young added.

The business is launching 10 new series over the coming weeks which will air across the FAST channels. They will also be streamed on the Ticker News Channel on weekends.
Chief operating officer Jed Bertalli said: “It’s been a huge effort by our entire team to launch these new channels, build new apps, relaunch our website, and create new shows and content with our fantastic new hosts. The new app gives our viewers free access to the stories and tips that help them in their everyday lives.”

The streaming broadcaster has recently appointed Jason Cadd as chief sales officer, working with brands and businesses to get the message out to a global audience. Cadd explained: “Ticker is the destination for businesses looking to engage a precise and captivated audience. Our average audience age is 39, so they’re looking for something completely different. They’re living in the city, often working from home, using multiple devices and have no idea what a TV aerial is.”
