With over 35 years of radio experience across the Perth, Sydney and Melbourne markets, Quick brings a wealth of leadership and expertise to the company, as well as a commitment to strengthen the presence of West Coast Radio’s two stations, Coast FM and The Wave, both locally and further afield.
Before joining West Coast Radio, Quick was CEO at Pacific Star Network – a media content and entertainment business encompassing SEN, 3MP, Frankie Magazine and Inside Football.
He has also held General Manager positions at 96FM and 6PR in Perth along with Sales Director and Sales Manager roles at various radio stations in Perth, Sydney and Melbourne.
At the start of this year, Carla Vella was appointed Managing Director of Sea and Mix FM on the Queensland Sunshine Coast. Carla had moved herself and her young family north five years earlier, leaving a role as SCA Head of Radio Sales Sydney.
In my experience… Sales people make the worst GM’s
a good GM is somebody that has worked in most parts of the business and understands the rest.
Thats why in my Opinion, John Williams (former GM of Mix/Sea) was one of the best GM’s you could work for
Agree, and is also about being able to show leadership, develop staff, identify business opportunities etc. things you can’t necessarily demonstrate in a sales role.
With the amount of storms (and other severe weather) the Blue Mountains gets, it behooves any station up there to be resilient. Nobody is listening to these stations apart from intrepid DXers…
I don’t think CADA gets impacted as much as the Lithgow based stations. Not sure on the community station up there. My local hhh FM gets its fair share of outages on FM.
Up the Blue Mountains for work and 99.5 is still off air completely (static) 2LT on 101.1 is fine. Maybe the transmitter for 99.5 got damaged in the storm and off air until a replacement.
BTW does 102.9 2ST and 107.1 Highlands fm have many storm outages on the Gib?
I was wondering why I can’t find 4LM steaming from Mt Isa. Was a little curious and wanted to tune in but looks like its similar to BOG in regional areas and not streaming? The format of the best songs of all time and beyond sounds pretty good. Although it might just be an old slogan for WS tracks on repeat .
