Somehow doubt the Canberra FM studios will move - from memory they’ve only recently been re-done up in the north side
It’s been a few years, but they’re still quite modern.
I too doubt they’ll move. They’ve had ample opportunity to combine with TV already if they wanted to. ARN probably want to keep them separate.
I remember 2CC and what became Mix 106.3 being in an old cottage on that site, so the current building was a huge step up, while 2CA and FM104.7 were in the building where the interstate bus terminal is on Northbourne Ave.
one of the requirements of valuing intangibles is that it can be reliably valued - thats potentially difficult
Channel 10 Southern Cross Austereo has a new corporate logo; updated on their website and Facebook page today
Why bother, find Nine the funding to complete the acquisition. Would be good to dilute Nine’s significant shareholders of Gordon et al.
New look websites for ARN’s stations being rolled out:
Mix 102.3 Adelaide - https://www.mix1023.com.au/
97.3fm Brisbane - https://www.973fm.com.au/
4KQ Brisbane - https://www.4kq.com.au/
The Edge Katoomba - https://www.961.com.au/
96FM Perth - https://www.96fm.com.au/
No changes yet for Cruise Adelaide, Mix Canberra or the Sydney and Melbourne stages. One suspects they’ll be set up over the course of the morning.
First thoughts: good to see there’s finally a schedule on the shows page (eg: The Edge), some details still need to be updated - for instance, the Mix Adelaide schedule lists weekday programs on Saturday and Sunday too. Also good to see that ‘currently on air’ show information is no longer pegged to your device’s time: as of writing this, the old Gold 104.3 was showing Gavin Miller (4-7pm) as being on air.
Ugh still no mention or promotion for DAB+ on the 4KQ site. What the actual… What’s wrong with them? Here they have a station that’s stuck on AM and doing amazingly well but why don’t they try to give it just a bit of help??
Exactly. Classic case of ‘leaders’ not understanding their product.
It’d be different if they had a local GM. Peter Verhoeven knew how to add the extra 1% to KQ.
Rest of the websites have now gone live (as of late last night).
Not surprisingly, no change for Mix Canberra. Always the last cab off the rank
From Radioinfo:
Macquarie Media struggles in a difficult market
Macquarie Media Limited’s group revenue for the last financial year was down 3.3% to $131.8 million with the company stating that the NSW and federal elections, a subdued housing market and variable business and consumer confidence impacted on the year’s earnings.

Is this now the right time for Nine to buy or more bad news coming?
I wish they’d focus on this acquisition and not the small change of MRN.
Mediaweek reports Nova Entertainment’s Perth commercial director Jamie Martinovich died yesterday after a short illness. He had been working at Nova for 15 years, taking over the role after Gary Roberts resigned last year.
Very sad situation. Jamie Martinovich likely unknown by most beyond WA and like Gary Roberts, a powerhouse in Perth.
If you want top legal or medical outcomes, WA again proven as not the place to need help. This was no mystery virus, thorough medical practice expected of modern day hospital care would’ve identified this, yet Jamie is dead.
As posted in Triple M thread, former Austereo executive Sean Pickwell (husband of radio presenter Robin Bailey) died early this morning from cancer.
