stevenl Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Up to them. Hope they are in for the long haul with some decent reporting, but somehow I don't feel confident about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Croc Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 They seem to be expanding and promise more news stories. From the link: "But be assured our heart is still in Phuket with a second office opening up in Kamala, two new Thaiger radio stations on the island, more Thai news for our growing local audience, new local staff and more services being introduced on our website focussed on Phuket. Phuket continues to grow and evolve and so do we." Hopefully they achieve a reasonable balance between news and advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Croc Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 Interesting that yesterday Tim Newton announced that todays video news show will be the final Thaiger Today show. As it is presented as being in association with Thaivisa and The Nation it seems a little odd it is finishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be quite good earlier. Separating news and advertising departments would be optimal, but it's not likely to happen in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that amount pays the bills. Perhaps the numbers are higher on other social medias. https://www.youtube.com/user/PGTVPhuket/videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
