I was mentioning that because Michael Healy will remain Director Television and Malone in Radio. So even though they are saying they are simplifying things - these heads remain so it just adds another layer of management. ---

> [@killy06](#): > > , given how much you know of his history? I was a 95% Channel Ten watcher at that time, particularly Ten News, no exaggeration and those here should know from my early years circa 2012 on MS. So I know of him, yes. And years ago I randomly just wondered what happened to him and Googled his LinkedIn and it said he was working in state politics comms. He also covered the early Julian Assange developments for the network from their Parliament House bureau. Boyce replaced Brad Hodson at the end of 2009, a long-time federal political reporter, who went back to 2004 and before that Perth (of Paul Kadak era). He went on to become a prominent producer, including Breakfast or Studio 10 or Wake Up, might even still be with Paramount AU? Was also very close with the late Chamaine Dragun. ---

Capital Brief reporting that talks for Gordon to offload his NNSW tv license to Paramount have progressed, which would give him more influence at Nine converting his indirect stake effectively owning about 25% of the business and make him the dominant shareholder. > Media billionaire **Bruce Gordon** is closing in on a deal that would allow him to strengthen his grip over **Nine Entertainment** as investors and executives jockey to influence the company’s future. > The sale of the licence, if finalised, would pave the way for Gordon to convert equity swaps in **Nine** held with **Macquarie Group** into shares, which in turn would significantly increase his voting power in the company and potentially strengthen his case for an additional board seat. > **[Bruce Gordon eyes Nine control as TV licence talks advance](https://www.capitalbrief.com/article/bruce-gordon-eyes-nine-control-as-tv-licence-talks-advance-b1ce0a5e-cea8-4e6f-a686-203cda5311a2/preview/)** > > The sale of an obscure regional TV licence could have significant implications for Australia's largest local media company - and the entire industry. ---
