John Porter is the CEO of Austar, which introduced pay television to Australia in 1995. He has taken the Austar business from a "tough" start in 1995, through to its "adolescent crisis in 2001 and 2002, where the company turned its focus back onto its core business. Porter has always been a vocal advocate of original programming for pay TV, a cause which has paid off for Austar with the success of its drama "Love My Way". Porter has also predicted that pay TV will make up over half of all TV consumption in the future, with interactive advertising to bring in a larger share of advertising revenue.
