About
PEDESTRIAN.TV is a media company for — and by — young Aussies. We tell the stories important to millennial and Gen Z people who call Australia home, shaping local culture and unearthing the next generation of red hot talent.
Think of us as your passport to culture. We’ve been serving news, opinion, entertainment and spice since 2005, providing the space for young people to feel seen, heard and understood. We punch up with purpose, shine a light on what matters, and do our level best to educate or entertain — or ideally both — with everything we do.
Where You Can Find Us
We reach more than nine million people each month, across our website, socials, podcasts, newsletters, PEDESTRIAN TELEVISION, and Vinyl Group.

Our History
Since launching as a DVD 'zine in 2005, PEDESTRIAN.TV has grown from cult beginnings to Australia's leading youth media brand.
Initially distributed as a free DVD magazine, founders Chris Wirasinha and Oscar Martin wanted to change the publishing game by creating a platform that would speak to, and resonate with, young Aussies in an entirely new way.
A few short years later in 2007, PEDESTRIAN.TV launched online as the digital House of Pop Culture and immediately got down to the business at hand: crafting spicy, spicy yarns for Australia's most switched-on audience.
In 2010, Pedestrian JOBS was launched, connecting eager, young job-seekers across Australia with the job of their dreams. Very quickly it became the #1 destination for businesses in Australia looking to recruit their next MVP.
Nine Entertainment Co. came on board in 2018 and aided a period of rapid growth, and today PEDESTRIAN.TV is an industry-leading digital publisher, producing content ranging from the latest entertainment, tech, gaming, lifestyle, and local news, through to in-depth investigative journalism and unique opinion writing.
Our Accolades
Pedestrian Group is wholly owned by Vinyl Group, Australia's largest and most diverse media company.
In 2023 we launched PEDESTRIAN TELEVISION, the only TV destination curated and created for young Aussies. Pedestrian Group also scored the coveted Branded Content Studio of the Year and Designer of the Year awards at Mumbrella Publish 2023, in recognition of the market leading content we create with our partners.
In 2024, we relaunched JOBS, helping both young Aussies craft their next career move and employers find the most exciting new talent in the creative industry.
