Everyone is bailing as share prices are falling big time!
The company isnât in great form by the looks of it thatâs for sure. Lots of ship jumpingâŚ
He had been ill previously so maybe there may be a health factor, but it does seem there has been a lot reshuffling of positions. Wonder how this means Seven Perth will operate now, given he was in control for 7 years after being promoted from his Executive Producer role on Today Tonight.

I must admit Mario didnât look well at this yearâs Telethon closing

Max Mason also writes that Nine and News are seeking to sell their regional papers, and it has been suggested that one buyer may purchase all three groups.
I wonder if Sevenâs radio stations may also be for sale?

If it is, then the number of potential buyers would be quite long, including SCA & Grant Broadcasters. I suspect the latter would be the most likely buyer, as SCA already owns 2 stations in Bunbury, where it also has Spirit Radio on 621 AM.
Seven has recruited BBC Studios creative director of development Damon Pattison to run its new UK venture.
Head of entertainment and lifestyle at Buzzfeed Australia, Jenna Clarke, who was one of 11 staff made redundant by the company, has joined West Australian Newspapers as assistant editor.
âOur acquisition of the cricket rights, at a lower cost per hour than the tennis, has paid off with ratings exceeding our projections. Across summer, Seven grew its share of every key demographic throughout the day and in primetime and we scored a 40%+ share of viewing on 39 days â more than any network has ever achieved. We are now broadcasting premium sport every week of the year, and will be for years to come.â
And who cares what it has done to the rest of the schedule?

Itâll be interesting to see how hard they fight to regain those tennis rights when they come up for renewal.

Two things can be simultaneously true at the same time. In this case, it can be said that the cricket has given Seven much more content to air across Summer than the tennis did. However, itâs also right to argue that the cricket wasnât a great launchpad for them for numerous reasons (eg; the BBLâs declined performance, the strength of Sevenâs Q1 lineup, etc)
I wouldnât be surprised if at least one network doesnât fight really hard next time to regain the sport/rights package they lost last year. However, itâs hard to say at the moment who that network will be and why they decide to do it.

No indication of whether they are interested in ACM?

Hopefully if Brook is taking control of content on Seven that we can see some new innovation from Seven.
Shit bait.
