ACA boss Amy McCarthy steps down after Logies controversy
Internal tensions at Nine have erupted after a resignation over social media posts just a week before the station faces major cuts.
The program’s star Ally Langdon, who has been asserting herself more and more at Nine since beating Stefanovic to the coveted A Current Affair gig in 2023 following Tracy Grimshaw’s retirement is said to have previously voiced her concerns about McCarthy’s perceived lack of experience to Nine’s top brass.
Those concerns seem to have gone largely dismissed until the night of the Logies when the executive producer’s posts presented her critics with a golden opportunity.
Nine sources insist that despite evidence to the contrary, Nine news boss Dear continued to support McCarthy after her social media posts found their way into a media column the morning after the Logies.
