    The Call Sheet: Stan's Dan Taylor on building a streaming service
    Jun 24 2025
    In a world where Netflix and Disney dominate, how does a platform like Stan hold its own? We put that to Dan Taylor - he’s the Managing Director of Stan and the guy leading Australia’s only locally owned streaming service. We chat about the strategy behind streaming, how the industry’s shifted (and where it's heading), and what it all means for local content. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the business end of what we watch. Want more News Club in your life?
