How much does your boss earn?

Staff Writer

With the reporting season for publicly listed companies now virtually complete, we can give you a look under the bonnet of the pay-packets of the senior executives at various radio groups.

Publicly listed entities are required to disclose the remuneration of the highest earning key management executives, so it is all on the public record.

So let's have a look:

A couple of points to note first:

 

  • ARN is owned by APN, who report on a different cycle, so they have released their half-yearly, not full-year accounts which do not need to disclose executive remuneration. However, the executive salaries of ARN ,as a subsidiary, are not required to be broken out separately.

 

  • DMG, Super Network, Ace Broadcasters, Grant Broadcasters and the carious smaller operators are privately held, therefore that information is not publicly available.

 

  • Fairfax, whilst operators of radio stations, derive the bulk of their revenue from other media so whilst they are listed, the executive remuneration isn't completely radio-driven.

 

  • When we did this last year MCM was included as a listed company, since that time they have delisted and so the information is no longer available.

 

So to the figures, ranked in earnings order from Southern Cross Austereo, Fairfax, Macquarie and Pacific Star;
