I’d add River94.9, WaveFM and bay93.9 to that as well.

bay93.9 was never included in the Grant Broadcasters transaction
Sorry, I thought we were talking a hypothetical network, including Star Central Coast, not ARN’s Star QLD network.

New chapter for ARN’s Duncan Campbell after 15 years and 115 metro surveys
After fifteen years and a grand total of 115 metro radio surveys, Duncan Campbell has officially wrapped up his final book as Chief Content Officer at ARN.
Campbell now transitions to a consulting and advisory role – part of a strategic leadership restructure which saw Lauren Joyce take on the newly-created role of ARN’s Chief Audience & Content Officer.

SCA and ARN are both in the same boat destroying shareholder value, this All About Audio plan really not working for these two major radio players yet in terms of value for the owners.
Bring on the private equity! You know it’s coming.

You’d hope now that they’ve ditched the extraneous parts that this is now their focus.
I suspect one of them will disappear within 12 to 18 months though, whether it’s because the two reignite the merger/takeover or someone else enters the fray

An interesting tidbit on the end of the Mediaweek article about Jonesy & Amanda moving from Gold Sydney breakfast to Sydney/Melbourne drive (as mentioned on the Gold Network thread) in regards to ARN in general:
As ARN moves closer to unveiling its full rebrand and network strategy, an official announcement is expected later this year, possibly at a planned Q4 upfronts presentation.
