News Corp’s Australian News Channel is taking iSentia to court in a bid to stop the media monitoring firm from providing Sky News Australia content to clients without an appropriate licence.
The case stems from Australian News Channel, which runs Sky News Australia, giving an exclusive licence to iSentia rival Streem, which meant that from September 1 Streem was the only media monitoring company in the Australian and New Zealand market able to provide customers with full content from Sky News Australia, including alerts, streaming, downloads and transcripts.
