Is this good or bad for the ABC?

It will be different for the abc. There isn’t an objective good or bad, that depends on your evaluation.
He is highly experienced and his business interests do not change his effectiveness as a leader or administrator. However, every exec has their approach and we will see that expressed through the way the institution is run.
I would expect a lot more of digital content delivery targeting parts of the audience thar don’t consume a lot of abc. That will likely see content type change.

Better question might be is it good for us. Sure sounds like a fox in the hen house situation though. I guess we’ll see.
