TV Business: How Nine ruled Q1 2019

We are closing in on a busy few weeks in the Mediaweek podcast studio.

Released in time for Easter is a preview of our special TV Business podcast, which we will feature more about next week.

Mediaweek is joined by one of Australia’s biggest TV advertisers, OMD’s national chief investment officer Melissa Hey, and the sales boss of TV’s #1 network, Nine chief sales officer Michael Stephenson.

Hear them both analyse the value of Married At First Sight, the rest of Nine’s schedule including the Australian Open and what Nine still has to come in 2019. Melissa also discusses the challenges at Seven and 10 and both guests discuss the changing ways TV is consumed and the ramifications for TV ad revenue.
