I have to stay below some form of rock as a result of I didn’t even know this existed within the first place. At the least, I didn’t comprehend it existed in such an official vogue. The Osbournes had began their very own media firm known as Osbourne Media Home in April 2024, which was meant to be a literal home of all of the artistic shit the household has occurring. They shut down the corporate nearly instantly and followers weren’t essentially positive why. Now, Jack Osbourne, son of Ozzy and youngest within the bunch, has provided some form of clarification.
Jack posted a fairly lengthy YouTube video about it on January 3, detailing all of the difficulties the corporate confronted alongside the best way. You may watch the total video under, however right here’s a part of it as transcribed by Blabbermouth.web:
“So it’s no secret Osbourne Media Home shut down. The explanation Osbourne Media shut down, it’s not a easy reply; it’s a really long-winded reply, however I’m gonna try to make it as brief and as concise and as simple to digest.
“Firstly, it had nothing to do with our viewers. I imply, not that that will have been an enormous cause for us to close it down. However I realized a lot in regards to the loyalty of our followers during the last 12 months and a half. And it has been such a tremendous expertise to take away a community or a buffer between the household and our viewers. For the final 21 years, myself, my mother, my sister, we’ve all labored for networks, we’ve labored for folks to launch content material. And so there was all the time a intermediary. We by no means had direct means to create precisely what we needed after which launch it to our followers the best way we needed it, how we needed it. And so it was a tremendous expertise studying how to do this. The large factor is simply that — we had been studying how to do that.
“I began Osbourne Media Home on a simply an concept,” he continued. “I noticed the best way media was going, how TV was drying up — it’s drying up. I noticed that artistic content material actually, at the least in my view, is the best way ahead for folks like myself. I’m not an actor, I’m not a musician. I’ve all the time labored in tv, both in entrance of the digicam as expertise, and I exploit that phrase loosely, or as a producer. However TV’s altering. The cash simply isn’t there anymore. And the sort of post-COVID shift has actually been affected not solely with me, however by the whole business. Content material is simply altering. And so I needed to vary with it. And I assumed creating some sort of media firm the place we had been creating and distributing our personal content material, we had a paywall, we had OsbourneMediaHouse.com —the imaginative and prescient that’s Osbourne Media Home was one thing that myself and my workforce, we sort of introduced out of nothing. It was self-funded. So my mother, myself, my father, all of us put in funds to make this factor work. And if we’re being completely trustworthy, we bit off greater than we might chew. It was a behemoth, and we needed to study from our errors as we went alongside. And whereas we had been studying from our errors, we had been counting on data from different folks about, ‘Okay, how can we develop this? How do we alter the path?’ As a result of the {dollars} and cents within the podcasting world modified as we had been constructing this, so we needed to change with it.
“Sadly, we didn’t change quick sufficient and we hit a wall. And my dad and mom made the choice. They had been, like, ‘Hey, hear, we don’t wanna preserve financially dumping cash into this as a result of we don’t see this as one thing that is smart for us proper now.’ And that was purely based mostly on work schedule for each of my dad and mom. It was based mostly on my dad’s well being and his means to take part. And it was based mostly on everybody simply sort of having life…
“So, [it was down to] scheduling, the financials of it, and I feel these two issues had been actually weighing on everybody. So there was a call that was made that until we sort of figured it out by August that we had been gonna need to hit the pause button on Osbourne Media Home, and that’s what occurred.”
