No changes at top in radio ratings
Tuesday, 21 May 2013
THERE were no changes at the top in the four metro markets in the third Nielsen radio ratings survey of the year.
Talk stations 2GB and 3AW maintained their top spots in the two major markets while 97.3FM extended its lead, slightly from a precarious 0.1 point in the last survey to 0.4 point today in Brisbane and Mix was No 1 again in Adelaide.
The third Nielsen radio ratings survey of the year covers the period February 24 to March 30 and April 7 to May 11.

Tim Worner to take over as Seven West Media CEO
Tuesday, 21 May 2013
SEVEN West Media has named Tim Worner as chief executive, replacing Don Voelte, who stepped into the role last June.
Mr Worner is currently chief executive of the media company's television division. He will take up the new role on July 1.
Mr Voelte, a former oil executive who was a surprise choice to take the CEO and managing director job at SWM, which owns Yahoo!7, The West Australian newspaper, Pacific Magazines and the Seven Network, last June after the departure of high-profile broadcaster David Leckie, will become SWM's deputy chairman.

Telstra rejoins race for cricket rights
Monday, 20 May 2013
TELSTRA is back in the race to acquire mobile and digital content rights for Australian cricket a month after the telco giant ruled itself out of the bidding process.
In a game of back and forth that has seen Telstra first declare its interest in the digital rights and then rule itself out again, media boss Rick Ellis has confirmed the telco is receptive to a deal with Cricket Australia.
"We are talking. The door is open but we haven't done anything," Mr Ellis said.

Southern Cross goes on discounting binge to boost market share
Monday, 20 May 2013
SOUTHERN Cross Media has begun aggressively bundling and discounting its television and radio advertising rates to drive its market share as its revenues come under pressure and its mooted $4 billion merger with Nine waits on regulatory changes.
Industry sources said the regional television and radio group had begun combining television with radio in advertising packages as an add-on to support its revenue share in the radio sector. The move comes amid growing speculation that Southern Cross's debt covenants have become an issue.
The commercial tactic is a sign of the company's frustration at thwarted attempts to engineer a merger with Nine to reduce its exposure to weak TV ratings in regional areas and a soft advertising market.

Jim Carroll re-enters the frame at SBS
Monday, 20 May 2013
AFTER decades as a "commercial beast", Jim Carroll has made the move to public broadcasting for the first time in his career, and describes his newly announced role as news and current affairs director of SBS as "one of the best jobs in television".
Carroll takes up the post in July, which will be two years exactly since he left the same job at the Ten Network after taking the fall for the ill-fated overhaul of its news and current affairs line-up.
Under his watch at SBS will be the flagship 6.30pm bulletin World News Australia, Jenny Brockie's public forum program Insight, international current affairs show Dateline, indigenous issues program Living Black and The Feed, the younger-focused news show starting this week on SBS2. He will also oversee the news content on SBS radio and online.

SEVEN'S gamble of screening a Kath & Kim clip special in place of its reliable factual entertainment programming hurt the network on Sunday night.
Seven lost the night in all people with a 20.2 per cent share against Nine’s 25.3 per cent but Kath & Kim Kountdown was smashed in the 6.30pm time slot by Nine's 60 Minutes.
The Block Sky High, which was up more than 200,000 viewers on last Sunday to 1.524 million as Seven rested its factual suite of The Force, Border Security and Highway Patrol.
