Uh, no he wasn’t?
I hear jjj are going to put promo vehicles on the road like black thunders and nova rav 4’s
Commercial guys are taking over the ABC –
Ex Nova, Triple M, Netflix what’s next, a 2dayfm executive!!!
Lee Simon was head of Sport Triple M.
Who was then informed spectator?
How great two new female appointments.
Let’s hope they got them on merit not just for the sake of diversity.
I don’t know what the ABC are doing with the overall plan but I wouldnt think that the woke culture would be the right fit for some of these signings having worked with some of them.
Two internal ABC appointments — a former Double J EP now CD for both Double J and Triple J; an ABC RN host being names the network’s culture correspondent — being just “diversity” hires, really??
@Grant
There was no one until it was officially created as a new role with Ewan Giles being appointed as Head of Sport for MMM & LiSTNR.
