Another lazy news day by the Tele. Newsroom has knocked up a story and found a talking head in Benny Elias to front it. Similar stories appear often.

Tracey Spicer is currently being interviewed on 612 ABC Brisbane. Mentioned that she’d just attended a 30 year reunion since TEN moved to Pyrmont.

Is that correct? 1987? Building looks newer than that, mid-late 90’s.

They moved into Pyrmont in 1997, must have been a 20 year reunion.

Thanks Samuel for confirming this. For a journo, you’d think she’d pay more attention to the details of her own workplace?

20 years. Is she still going on about being sacked? It was a DECADE ago!!

Her “I’m not hot enough for TV” article was also a crock. She wants us to see women in TV as victims of sexual oppression and age discrimination. Meanwhile, the three women reading Channel 7 weeknight news in WA, SA and QLD are 175 years old. And from Jo Palmer in Tasmania to Susannah Carr, women in their 40s, 50s and 60s DOMINATE top-rating main anchor roles across the country.

Hinch has been sacked many times over the years, he sees it as a badge of honour rather than holding a grudge.

Sunita Gloster Joins Network Ten As Chief Commercial and Strategy Officer.

Network Ten today announced the appointment of Sunita Gloster to the new role of Chief Commercial and Strategy Officer.

Ms Gloster will be responsible for network strategy and digital and commercial partnerships, reporting to Network Ten Chief Executive Officer, Paul Anderson.

Since 2013 Ms Gloster has served as CEO of peak advertiser group, the Australian Association of National Advertisers (AANA).

Mr Anderson said: “Ten has embarked on a significant transformation plan for efficiencies, investment and growth and we are thrilled Sunita is joining Ten in this important new role for our network.

“Sunita has exceptional understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing blue-chip brands in the Australian market and that knowledge and experience will be invaluable for driving growth, innovation and results for our partners.

“Sunita has an impressive track record in strategy, management and organisational change and is globally recognised for her initiatives at the AANA, particularly across media and digital industry supply chains,” he said.

“Sunita’s appointment will bring enormous commercial experience and energy to our team at a critical time for both the business and the broader media and marketing industries.”

Ms Gloster said: “Today’s business climate requires every enterprise – brand owner or media company – to rethink and recalibrate for a sustainable future and with that comes tremendous opportunity.

“Paul Anderson and the Management Team at Ten have started a true transformation program and I’m genuinely excited to be joining at a time when media and brands are navigating through a time of great change and reinvention.”

Ms Gloster held senior executive roles in Australia and internationally, including 11 years in London working for major brands at leading advertising networks.

For two consecutive years, Management Today magazine recognised Ms Gloster as one of the top 35 business women in the UK aged 35 and under, and Media & Marketing Europe voted her one of the top 40 professionals across the continent under 40.

At the AANA, Ms Gloster led the self-regulatory system for the $14 billion advertising industry. Her leadership of the AANA has been recognised by two consecutive President’s Awards by the World Federation of Advertisers in Brussels.

Why do they keep appointing executives? These people would be on six figure salaries and yet the network is happy to sit back and not invest in programming and aim to axe the newsrooms etc.

Request for trading halt to ASX

Ten Network Holdings Limited (TEN or the Company) requests that its shares be placed in trading
halt.

  1. Over the weekend, TEN received correspondence from financial advisers to Illyria Pty Limited
    (Illyria) and Birketu Pty Limited (Birketu), two of the shareholders which guarantee the Company’s
    current credit facility. That correspondence confirms that those guarantors do not intend to
    extend or increase their support for the Company’s credit facilities beyond the term of the current
    facility which expires on 23 December 2017. TEN’s Board is considering the position of the Company
    in light of the position being taken by Illyria and Birketu and the range of restructuring and
    refinancing initiatives it has underway. Pending these determinations over the coming days, TEN
    considers that its shares will not be able to trade on an informed basis and, accordingly, requests
    the trading halt.
  1. TEN requests that the trading halt lasts for 48 hours or until an earlier announcement has
    been made by the Company.
  1. TEN expects that an announcement outlining the Board’s determination will end the trading
    halt.
  1. The Company is not aware of any reason why the trading halt should not be granted.
