A search of Google News at 6.15pm on Wednesday night, some 9 hours after 6 High Court judges ruled in favour of IceTV revealed that out of 33 stories on IceTV not one single story had been written by CMH journalists.
A further search of CMH web sites such as the Ninemsn technology section or apcmag.com or the PC User section also revealed that the story had not been covered despite the fact that all the major newspapers in Australia including the Age, SMH, The Australian covered the High Court announcement.
Dan Warne, the editor of apcmag.com a CMH owned web site which is also part of the Australian Personal Computer stable of technology properties did not return ChannelNews calls however his boss Tony Sarno, the Editorial Director and Publisher at APC, said that the online decision to run or not run the IceTV story was down to Warne.
He said that he was not running the story in APC Magazine as "When we come out in a month's time the story will be old news".
Warne who has his own blog and is known for having an opinion on just about anything technical appears to have deliberately avoided the story despite the fact that the IceTV EPG is one of the few EPG services that can be downloaded and run on a Windows based Media Centre or notebook.
This is the same guy who turns up at press conferences and reports live on events and is often called in as a technology expert by Nine Network programs such as A Current Affair and Nine News.
