May was another record breaking month for SCA for live radio streaming, which increased another 3% month on month and 42% year on year to reach 1.3 million listeners.

SCA may say this, but id doesn’t fix their core business problems of 2DAY bfast and the ageing 3MMM AM/PM show talent nor the battle for Mix against Gary’s 96m or the regional problems such as Gold and Central Coast.

Not the core business now and not likely for decades.
Try fixing 2DAY first.

When I tried to access the article from Google just now, it’s the same result.
Maybe the article has been taken down after I’ve linked it on this thread (which littlegezzybear originally linked it on the “Nine (Southern Cross)” thread before I did so on this thread).

B&T posted a link to their article on Twitter, which is where I saw it. They have since deleted it from Twitter. My guess is that Southern Cross asked them to remove the article.

Just going back to that B&T Article that was pulled, B&T were told by SCA to pull the article later in the day & had to publish an apology the next day for it.
The article & Headline clearly stated SCA wasn’t heading for Receivership, but yet it upset them & was pulled, as it obviously hit a nerve.
Since then, some other industry insiders I’ve heard from, are saying “where there’s smoke there’s fire” & others are saying “watch this space”.
I called this here, over 18 months ago, that SCA was in trouble, so I also say watch this space, quite possibly before the end of this year or early next year.

Sooooooo…if SCA were headed for receivership, who would be a candidate to buy them out?
Would Nine and Seven grab the regional TV stations?
Do you split apart the metro and regional radio operations?
Do you split apart the Triple M and Hit networks and take the regionals alongside the metros?
Do you sell it all to individual companies? Or package them altogether?
There’s a lot to this spicy meatball to take in.

Yes. SCA has ripped the heart out of them.

As in create two different companies. The heart has already ripped out, eaten and shat out.

Grant would probably buy some, other operators would too.

The metro radio stations are probably an easier sell then the regionals - wouldnt surprise me if the regionals got sold off to a number of buyers

Can Nine buy a FM radio network as well as own a AM? I think so right? Maybe they’d split HIT/Triple M up. That’s always a possibility.

Not sure, Sydney and Melbourne may be an issue where they have a Paper as well as a TV station and AM Station
